Adjustments but very good
I made these exactly following the recipe and they were needing something. So second time, I added 1/2 tbsp more cocoa and a tablespoon more coconut oil, as well as one more teaspoon of vanilla. I of course used pure maple syrup, dark, but I also added a few drops of liquid monk fruit sweetener. Second batch was wayyyyyy better. Oh I also used Lilly’s sugar free chocolate chips for each batch. Yum.
Very good start
Made these tonight- very easy to do. I’d probably increase the cocoa a bit, as well as the coconut oil and vanilla. Overall though, it’s tasty and as with many vegan brownies, these are way better when they’re chilled in the fridge.
In love!
These are absolutely delicious and my family loves the health benefits! Having extra fiber is always a win in our book! Thank you for making nourishing recipes delicious!
Black bean brownies
All I can say is WOW they are amazing, delicious so good I made another batch husband was shocked how good they were. It is so nice to have sweet I myself highly recommended them And they do not harm my liver
Not bad!
They did feel dense, but that is because I may have over mixed them in the blender. Otherwise, a great way to enjoy desserts and not harm your health!
