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

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

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
