Seems like a good mixture, although after 20 mins my batch are not close to done and the oven was warming up for a long time. I\’m popping them back in for 12 mins so fingers crossed they still turn out great! Thanks for the ideas.
Are the black beans cooked before adding to the brownie mix?
Definitely
These sounded so promising but were hard to cook thoroughly. And for my family, they like taking a laxative.
