Monggo Beans or Mung Beans-they are small, ovoid in shape, and green in color. It is used as a foodstuff in both savory and sweet dishes. (source : wikipedia)

I grew up in the Philippines, My family plant Monggo Beans in our little farm in Valencia, Bukidnon.As, I remembered monggo beans are very easy to cultivated. Since then, I remembered  Monggo prepared mostly on savory dishes like ginataan, guisado and to my surprised some bakery in my place make monggo bread. My Mom, always have its way to make Monggo, taste so delicious in very simple way mostly on savory dishes accompanied with rice. One of my favorite bread in the Philippines is the Monggo Bread usually in Ensaymada form, So. today why not make it myself. ( wink ) While searching for that right recipe for the Monggo Bread, I stumble upon this video on youtube ( aeriskitchen) on how to make sweet red bean buns and it was so simple and yet look delicious. So, I was like! aha!! instead of red bean paste put as filling, why not monggo beans because, I love monggo beans and it suits on my taste-bud, I love to mention how (aeriskitchen) made the bread look like flower, its pretty amazing.  I was really inspired! I'll show you how simple it is to make this bread and who knows it might be your next favorite snack of the day. My family loved it and hopefully yours too:) wink..
