Really, a brownie made with black beans? I had to try 'em. I'm always looking for healthy alternatives, although some desserts are sacred, such as chocolate chip cookies. Fudge. Cheesecake. And yes, brownies.
But what the heck. If I liked 'em, I'd end up saving myself a gazillion calories because trust me, when I make brownies, I enjoy the fruits of my labor. And so, I followed the recipe down to the low-fat sour cream and sugar-substitute, Splenda.
How did the they turn out?
I'll let you know. Just as soon as I'm done rinsing out my mouth.

You lost me at Splenda. YUCK!
I can't believe you thought these might be good! Always good to experiment though. Where did you find that recipe?
I had the DIS'pleasure of actually tasting one, and all I can say is "not fit for anything that breathes". So gross...chalky to be more accurate!
You gotta wonder about the cookbook author...
"I know what! Let's see if we can replace the holy trifecta - butter, sugar and chocolate with beans and Splenda! That should work!"
Re. Pam's comment - taste buds are not that easily fooled.
LOL!
