After making these brownies, I am surprised at all the gushing, positive reviews. These may be good for being gluten/dairy free but they are by no means good in general.

Good, I added a little bit more veg oil, cocoa, white sugar, and doubled the coffee after reading other reviewer's suggestions. It doesn't have the same texture of brownies but with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top you can't tell the difference.

It's a brownie with a fine black bean texture. Yummy but not DELICIOUS, too "light" to satisfy a true brownie craving. I increased vanilla to 1 tbsp, 1 tbsp instant cappuccino instead of instant coffee, 3 tbsps margarine.

Don't waste your time making there brownies, there are much better uses for beans than these. The texture was way too spongey, they taste like black beans, and leave an awful after taste. Very artificial. If you are looking for a brownie just eat a brownie.

Followed the recipe exactly how it is. Couldn't believe it tasted like brownies. Not as chewy as a brownie but tasted just like it.

My best friend came over for a visit just as I was putting this into the oven. She , myself, & everyone else who tried these thought they tasted just as good or better then brownies made with flour. We couldn't even tell they were made with blck beans. Also I used dried black beans that I had prepared/cooked with jalapeno, empazote, & onion. I thought that canned beans are seasoned a bit too & I had made plenty of beans some for eating w/rice, etc. which I seasoned further & some I knew I wanted to use to try this recipe & sure enough it turned out perfect. I also did use special dark chocolate chips & it was a hit w/everyone who tried it! Thank-you Elizabeth for coming up w/this great idea. I'm just wondering what inspired you to use blck beans in the first place?Thank-you, thank-you! Sooooo gooood!

A bit too sweet and I can still taste the black beans. I made some changes though. I used unsweetened applesauce instead of oil. 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar. And a 9" square pan for about 28 minutes. I also added semi sweet choc chunks on top with walnuts. Next time, I think I will bake a bit longer, and will add 1 tsp of baking powder and eliminate 1/4 cup of sugar for more cake like brownies. Good recipe though!

OMG these are fantastic. I had to tweak the recipe a bit as I had a 19oz can of beans. I added an extra egg, bumped up the cocoa to 1/3 cup, 1 c sugar. I didn't quite have a enough instant coffee so I added a about 1tsp of cinnamon. Blended everything up in the processor until smooth. I did have to cook it for about 33 mins. My family and I were very skeptical about it, but they gobbled up the nibbles I gave them, even my 3 yr old said "mmm, it good mommy". Next time I will try some orange flavoring with white chips & orange zest.

A friend of mine made these and then I HAD to make them myself the next day. Nobody could believe there were black beans in them. Tasted great! Do add extra cocoa. The texture is different and might be unexpected.

These were fun and interesting to try. I followed as directed except used mini chips, because that is what I had. I don't think they tasted like bean at all. But they were not chocolatey enough for me and the texture wasn't that great. As for a gluten free recipe, I like the garbanzo chocolate cake better.

Delicious! Oh my gosh, we keep snitching from the pan just like we do with "real" brownies, but these are so much healthier! I made the recipe exactly as written - except that I probably added more than 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Fabulous!

These had a really rich, chocolate-y taste, but the texture was off. The texture was somewhat grainy and left a weird film in your mouth after eating. Not bad though.

These turned out great! I have a friend who has celiac disease and the thought of never eating cake again makes me so sad for her. I made her cupcakes once from a gluten-free mix and they were so dry and horrible. WE LOVED THESE! She ate like 3 of them in the first 5 minutes. They do taste better the next day and not straight out of the oven though. I'm so happy that she enjoyed these and can't wait to share them with her celiac friends!! I'm going to make them again and see if I can trick my 2 year old into eating them!

I think this recipe is a great starter point. The first time I made the brownies (w. the optional coffee) they had a distinct bean taste. However, the second time I made sure the beans were completely and thoroughly rinsed, and we added pecans and dried cherries to the mix. The results were great, no bean taste! Very excited about this recipe!

Okay. The first batch I made I forgot the sweetner, and needless to say-they weren't too good. When I followed the recipe, I was surprised by how good they were! Yummy! What a great healty alternative. I did use splenda instead of sugar-still great. They don't have the consistancy of regular brownies. No, they're not chewy. They do melt in your mouth, though. I am saving this recipe!
