Looks yummy! I have a recipe from months ago that also used the black beans...interesting to see how these turn out! The other recipe called for raspberry as well.

Thanks for posting, Coco!

sounds interesting, I just sent my husband out to buy all the ingredients, can't wait to see how they taste/turn out

ok so they smelled REALLY good...but the taste...hmm..I can't even describe the taste, the only thing it made me want to do was brush my teeth really badly..lol My husband liked them ( but that isn't saying much, he will eat anything that isn't a vegetable..lol)
Maybe others will like them, i think I just couldn't get past knowing that they were made with black beans

Oh bummer!  That stinks they didn't come out as good as you hoped.  Pillsbury, who makes SF cake mixes, just came out with a SF brownie mix!!  I have yet to see it in any stores but I look each time I go!  The minute I see that mix in the store I am going to buy a few and make them!  I'm thinking of also adding a scoop of chocolate protein powder to them as well!!  :)

I'll have to keep an eye out for them, but I haven't found any kind of sugar free cake mixes here in Ontario...I'll keep my fingers crossed next time I go grocery shopping though..lol

Oh bummer.  Were they like a moist fudgy texture?  That's how I have them envisioned anyway?  Not good huh?  Thanks for being brave enough to make them and report back.

I'm not even sure how to describe the texture....they were moist...but sort of grainy...and you have to cook them longer than the recipe calls for or they are still REALLY runny
