    Um, it answers the OP's (my) question so it seems right on point. Much more so than your reply.

    My family actually prefers my black bean brownies to regular ones (I think the key ingredient is instant coffee, which really boosts the chocolate flavor). The texture is great. They don't offer much if any calorie savings, though, even after modifying.

    I'm a picky eater and scoff at the 'replacement' foods but I do really like black bean brownies. the person who made them even made them vegan. I was greatly impressed.

    My wife makes black bean brownies. I hate black beans in general, but for some reason they work in the brownies.. and they taste great.

    Vegan Gluten Free Black Bean Brownies / Minimalist Baker

    Mom's neighbor loves these, so I made them. I thought they were edible, but wouldn't serve them at a dinner party.

    I'm going to try the CCK recipe. (Not for a dinner party.)

    Our local grocery store sells Black Bean Ice Cream. They have all the traditional flavors (Vanilla, Strawberry & Chocolate), but two always make me cringe - Black Bean Flavor, and Green Tea Flavor.

    I'm very game to trying black bean brownies! Going to have to spin up one of these recipes soon!

    America's Test Kitchen likes to add instant coffee to boost chocolate flavor. How much do you add for brownies?

    I've tried this recipe and liked it : http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/09/06/no-flour-black-bean-brownies/

    It really helps that there is chocolate in there and not just cocoa powder (I used 70% chocolate).

    Oh and don't forget to get no salt added black beans!

    These are good! I reduced the honey and the sugar and added some pecans, as indicated below. Not included is the 1/2 t of baking powder.

    The questions were: have you tried them? If yes what did you think? Any tips?
    I was sharing my experience making them. I answered the questions.

    Try a low carb cheesecake - they are very good, especially with some fresh fruit on top! http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/low-carb-new-york-ricotta-cheesecake-recipe.html

    I don't really like black beans. Could I use kindey beans instead?

    I have had green tea ice cream. Not with beans, just regular green tea flavored ice cream. It was good. Not chocolate good, but good.
