    I have tried so many brownie alternatives . . . most dissapointing. This one, however has great texture and the flavor is very chocolatey. I added a dash of cinnamon to the mix. I was amazed that it makes 16 big squares with only 79 cal/each. Yes, I will definately make this recipe again. - 10/9/09

    I have a similar recipe that is a little easier. You take a regular brownie mix (9x13) size. Drain the black beans, then put them back in the can. Fill the can with water just to cover the black beans. Puree water & beans. Add to brownie mix and bake as directed. Do not add box ingred. - 4/28/10

    Made these last night & had one with my coffee this morning - while the rest of the office snarfed down bagels & pastries : - ). They're excellent! I followed the recipe exactly & I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Will definitely satisfy my chocoate craving. - 6/26/09

    I was surprised at the moist texture. Couldn't taste the beans. I took it to a potluck. Most people were surprised. One gentleman just loved them. It didn't taste quite as chocolately as I expected. I will probably try it again, but maybe add some nuts, more cocoa and some mexican vanilla. - 1/5/08

    I used heaping spoonfuls of cocoa and I think that was the right way to go--I'm also going to try making them with sugar instead of Splenda next time. It will add a few calories but it's only half a cup anyway. I like the slight bean flavor but I don't think you'd notice if you didn't know. - 3/31/07

    I find that these are just good enough to satisfy cravings for baked goods without being so good I feel like eating the whole pan. They don't taste like beans but they don't taste like real brownies either.

    I'll probably make again as I can't trust myself with the real thing. - 8/8/08

    I thought these were GREAT! I only had to cook mine for 15 mins, not sure why? I added a 1 tbls more chocolate also which I think made a big difference. They did have a little bit of Splenda after taste to it. But overall it's a great alternative for those who can't have wheat. - 3/27/07

    Enjoyed them. Changed recipe slightly, used some eggbeaters in place of half the eggs, Special Dark cocoa, and some cinnamon. This is low carb recipe, is it not? Why are some people changing it and using boxed brownie mix? Defeats the purpose. Same with subbing sugar for Splenda... - 5/29/10

    I made them in a cupcake pan and added a few chocolate chips to them. They are very good! Cakey and that's the way I like my brownies. My daughter hated them ( she saw me make them) and my son said they were the best brownies ever ( and he didn't) Very healthy way to get fiber and protein! - 2/2/11

    I was part way through the recipe when I realized it called for a food processor. I just mashed the beans & used an electric mixer instead. I used organic, unrefined sugar in place of Splenda. Next time I think I'll try honey. I tried them w/ Greek vanilla yogurt.They satisfied my sweet tooth! - 2/25/11

    I was hoping for more flavor, but they were light and very easy to make. I didn't taste beans at all. Instead of regular coffee, I used Kahlua liquor which gave it an essence of coffee. Perhaps next time, I'll add chocolate chips. - 3/6/10

    Served to a group of friends, and they enjoyed them! They didn't know that it was black beans, but they knew it wasn't a real brownie either.

    They were very moist. The initial taste (to me) was more like black beans, but there was a slight hint of chocolaty aftertaste. Took a few to get use to. - 11/9/09

    I made a couple of substitutions to this: I omitted the coffee and used chocolate flax oil instead of the other oils (to enhance the chocolate flavor) I also used 1 C of stevia instead of 1/2 C splenda (I like it sweet) and I added 1/4 tsp of baking powder. It came out more cake-like than anything! - 11/19/12

    I was skeptical at first, but I am so glad I tried them. These were really good.

    They're not bad. The texture is pretty good for not containing flour, but the taste is still too "beany" for me. It almost tastes like chocolate beans. It's not bad, and it will definitely satisfy a craving for something sweet and chocolate, but it's not very close to the real thing. - 3/8/12

    Made these with sugar, since I don't do fake sweeteners, and added cinnamon. They were good, for me personally, I needed a bit more richness, so maybe I'd up the cocoa and add vanilla next time. Very easy, texture was great, and love that they're relatively guiltless. - 12/10/11

    Surprisingly very good. I added more coffee instead of water, used more cocoa, fresh black beans, coconut oil and organic sugar instead of splenda. It tastes more like a cake, but very yummy especially with a little powdered sugar! - 11/17/11

    I added extra cocoa instead of the coffee, and I throw in walnuts. The extra chocolate really helped, and I can't taste the beans! I used real sugar, but next time I'll put more in to compensate for the extra chocolate. I LOVE that these don't have flour, and you can't taste the difference!! - 9/22/11

    It was OK the flavor of the beans was too intense for me, they are very filling I only tried one after baking them and I was hungry at that point after that I felt full. - 8/13/11

    I was in too much of a hurry. I read blender but thought mixer. I was fine with the whole beans. But next time I will slow down. Will make again, without a doubt. - 7/27/11

    A little like cake, but I didn't add the coffee for my family. I liked them and they were easy to make as well. I am going to make this recipe again with the coffee for myself. - 7/25/11

    I was definitely skeptical about this recipe, but I just made them tonight and they are delicious!! I didn't have any Splenda, so I used regular sugar. Next time I'll use Splenda and add some dark chocolate chips. I'm already excited!!! Thanks so much for sharing! - 6/17/11

    I loved the recipe- getting extra protein in my daily intake is important, as well as for my kids. I used applesauce instead of oil. I found that these were not as good as what I was expecting- very unsweetened. Quick fix is to have a with coffee and a tablespoon of lowfat vanilla yogurt. -Thank - 5/21/11

    I'm going to try them tonight. I'm a little confused about how much cocoa to use, since everyone had a different opinion on that. I like the Kahlua idea and the mini chips! - 5/20/11

    These were by far the worst brownies I have ever made in my life...! I threw the whole batch out, and I tell ya I'm not the most picky person when it comes to sweets! Absolutely horrid! I don't know how they have all of these wonderful reviews. Very Disappointed.

    I didn't carefor these, too dry & not too tasty. Tried ice cream over them to give some flavor. Just didn't cut it. - 2/15/11

    eeeewwwww ~~ my hubby and I could definitely taste the beans -- and we were sure to blend in our processor "VERY well" and still.. very bean-y. I guess brownies are just supposed to be brownies! LOL! - 1/18/11

    These turned out pretty well for me. They are very moist, indeed, almost soggy! My husband doesn't like the little coffee flavor so next time I"m going to leave out the coffee and substitue an egg or two with milled flaxseed to see what that does. My 3 yr old likes them and so do I though. - 1/9/11
