Black Bean Brownies (2 WW Points each!)

[Domestic Gal]

I made a pan of these on Sunday. They are all gone already. Did not tell the kids what was in the for fear they will not eat them.
I used a low fat Betty Crocker mix and they were great. Will make them again.

I tried them today. I think I did something wrong. The batter was extremely runny. I made them in a 12 x 9 pan; they did not rise up at all.

I made a black bean chocolate torte recently (called it a torte because I made it in a springform pan and it was about an inch high) that was delicious. Here's the recipe I tweaked. I beat the whites separately until stiff peaks formed and then folded everything else into the whites. I only used 2T oil and then added 2T unsweetened applesauce. (Next time, I will use all applesauce) Also, I added a handful of mini choc chips (to help disguise bean skins). In the springform pan, it took 40 min to bake. In my MOMS Club, we like to experiment with recipes with "hidden" ingredients. :giggle:

I made these black bean brownies tonight. I used a regular Pillsbury brownie mix with an entire can of black beans (undrained). I just puree'd the beans and mixed it all with the mixer for a little bit. The brownies are firm and arose quite nicely.

I'll make this secret recipe again :) shhhhh

I have made these before and LOVE them- even my kids do!

This would be great for DS, who thinks that he doesn't like beans--especially black beans. It will be my new little secret for his "double chocolate" brownies!

I have made these before, and they are good. DH and 12 year old DS liked them as well. The only suggestion I have on them is to make sure get the beans pureed well, or you might get a little taste of bean skins.

I made these today with the family size mix in the 9x13 pan. they were great but did not rise. next time will try them in 8x8 pan instead.

the kids inhaled them...so did I!

[MrsPinecone]

They really don't rise a lot- they are more fudgy than cakey.

I made these this aft. and am thrilled with the results. They are very good. Fudgy more than cake like which is what I like.
My kids are all conscious of fat content now and are all coming home for the weekend. I won't tell them till they taste, but I am betting they won't notice a difference
Thanks so much OP. I repped you!!!
