burnt, you are one hot ticket!!
I made these yesterday. Excellent recipe for "healthy" brownies! They are so moist and chocolaty. Who knew beans would rise in place of flour? Thank you.
Oh wow - thank YOU! I'm so glad you liked them. They really are chocolaty aren't they?
Wow!!! These are really good. I made all my friends try them because I could not believe they were made with beans. What a yummy way to add fiber and make brownies a bit healthier.
Thanks! I'm so glad you liked them - they really are a nice alternative if you need gluten free and more fiber.
I can think of 5 kids under the age of 7 in my family who will love these!! Great recipe!
I like to use the red kidney beans when I make brownie. I will definitely give these a try
Oh do! You can use canned adzuki beans in a pinch (Whole Foods has them), just rinse them well to get rid of the sodium and measure 2 cups total by volume.
Awesome idea!
Thanks! I adapted a recipe I had made once before for black bean brownies, but the adzuki are sweeter to begin with. Taste great, less filling!

I just pulled these out of the oven. Amazing! Mine had to cook a little longer (extra 10 min or so) but man, are they good! Thank you for this great recipe!
