Black bean brownies

Whether it's beans or pot or whatever crackpot ingredient you use... please warn your guests. Some of us can't tolerate that.

Beans give me diarrhea, please warn your guests.

I might try these and report back.

Lmao.

If you used a azumi beans and matcha powder in the recipe, all of the sudden dumb suburban white women would be thrilled to try ‘Japanese red bean paste match chocolate brownies’.

Isn’t cacao a bean?

Interesting question. I googled it. Beans are legumes. Cacao nibs are a fruit. They may be called beans, but evidently not actual beans (legumes).

Anyone that thinks these are good has not eaten a real brownie in years, I suspect. I love black beans and eat them a couple times a week. Not in my brownies though. Better idea — make a nice mole sauce for black bean enchiladas.

Also disgusting — the chocolate pudding made with avocado. I love avocado and this was just disgusting. Such a waste of expensive ingredients.

Oh yes,I tried the recipe back then and it was horrible! My husband still brings them up occasionally, and it’s probably been close to 20 years.
