Wow- way not to take a joke.

But just because it is DCUM, you must have meant *fewer* of them.

I love this style! My kids don’t like them that way but adults really love the nuanced umami brownie.


DP--I took it as a joke.


I didn’t, black beans brownies are a thing

The dark chocolate already has chips in the bag. I think dark is our fav.

Sometimes I swirl raspberry jam into the top while cooking, before they are fully baked.


I love this idea and how simple.

Oops: plus one pat of melted butter , stirred into the mixture.

I second the coconut oil suggestion. Gives it the best texture ever.
