Pleasantly surprised! This recipe intrigued me because of the beans and made it for my husband who is on a gluten free diet. These fudgy brownies were moist and the flavor reminded me of dark chocolate.

These are better than I thought they would be. Black beans certainly give them a healthy punch. They're not as good as the fattening kind, but I was expecting them to be! I will say they satisfy my craving for a brownie, which is a big bonus!

My younger brother refuses to eat beans, and he loved them! Very tasty!
