    i used devils food cake mix. here's the recipe from hungry girl (yum yum brownies):

    Yum Yum Brownie Muffins

    (serving size: 1 Muffin, or 3 minis - 181 calories, 3.5g fat, 37g carbs, 2g fiber, 2g protein -- PointsPlus™ value 5*)

    This super-simple 2-ingredient recipe is a Weight Watchers Fave!

    1 box devil's food cake mix
    1 can solid pack pumpkin (15 oz.)

    Directions:
    Mix the two ingredients together. Don't add anything else that may be mentioned on the box, such as eggs, oil, or water. The mixture will be very thick and you will be tempted to add in other things to make the batter smoother. DO NOT DO THIS AS IT WILL RUIN EVERYTHING! Place batter into muffin tins (or mini muffin tins) lined with paper, or sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Makes 12 regular or 36 mini muffins.

    I used to make black bean brownies and I just didnt like the taste. People swore up and down on blogs that you can't tell the difference. But I could taste and texture.

    Brownies in general are a weakness of mine so I found out I like no pudge brownies. They are amazing!

    But I say if you want to try the black bean brownies go for it! Might as well try it!

    I must be the only one that cringes at the thought of black beans in brownies. Yuck.
