I’ve always been suspicious of double chocolate brownies made with black beans. In times past they always tasted of beans, no matter what someone claimed. I think the real issue is the brownies were flourless and bound with eggs. These double chocolate brownies are held together with oat flour and it produces a cake like brownie. Don’t fear it! You will love them. You will find it hard to not indulge. Note: chill the brownies and serve cold. You will be rewarded for your patience.
