Brownie Mix-Black Bean Brownies

Absolutely delicious! Didn’t last long enough for a picture. LOL Everyone was so surprised!

I have made these for years! We love them and my kids had no idea they had beans in them. I have very picky kids and they love these brownies. They come out just lite a traditional gooey brownie!

I am gluten free and vegan due to many food allergies. This is the most “brownie” like brownie that I’ve made to date! It puffed up – didn’t collapse or turn to oily mush like gf mixes or scratch recipes usually do when you omit the eggs and replace with flax eggs or applesauce. So simple too. I replaced the water with freshly brewed hot coffee. I used Krusteaz Gluten Free Brownie mix which already has some chips in it, a cup of Enjoy Life mini choc chips and Bush’s low sodium black beans drained and rinsed well. I was so skeptical smelling the beans in the strainer! I blended the beans and half the chips and coffee in my Ninja processor. Until it was smooth and I couldn’t really taste the beans anymore. Then I added the brownie mix in two batches, adding the remaining coffee and chips at the end. It made 18 individual treats in my muffin tins which I lightly greased with light olive oil. I topped them with chopped pecans. They baked for 25 mins at 350 and rested for 30 mins before I took this picture. Popped right out with a silicone spatula! Thank you for a great recipe to be inspired by. This will be my new go to! Btw my son does the “gag reflex” thing if beans come anywhere near his food. He has no idea he ate them. Thought these brownies were delicious.

I have a hard time rating as I changed it by adding 2 eggs and walnuts, expresso chocolate chips and fancy sprinkles with large crystal sugar. I wish I would have added some vanilla. They were dense and not sweet enough for my expresso chips. I would mix the chips half expresso and half semi sweet. They need something sweet. The fancy sugar helped.

Delicious! No one knew ingredients, but loved it and wanted recipe.

This was quick and easy. Of course, I substituted walnuts for the chocolate chips, for a healthier version, and added one 4 oz. cup unsweetened apple sauce. Big Hit..!

Fudgiest brownies I’ve ever had! It’s fun to make a game out of having your family guess what the secret ingredient is. Super easy and quick to make, and everyone enjoyed them – definitely a win. I love that the beans increase the fiber and protein content and make them more filling, yet you can still enjoy the brownie experience.

These tasted great! Sadly, my husband could tell the difference before I confessed. They’re a little less rich than when made with oil and eggs. Personally, I like it that they’re less rich but still very moist. I used Ghirardelli Turtle brownie mix and added 3/4 cup chocolate chips. I put pecan pieces on top before baking. Next time I will try some adjustments made by other reviewers and use coffee instead of water or add instant coffee.

This is my favorite recipe for brownies! I added peanut butter swirls which was amazing!! After I had THIS RECIPE mix in my baking dish. I mixed a cup of peanut butter (melt in microwave 30 seconds on medium power) and whisked in 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. Drop a teaspoon of peanut butter mix all throughout the batter and used a knife to pull PB spread mixture throughout entire brownie mixture. Bake 30minutes—healthy decadence!

I saw this recipe and was very excited to try BUT after reading reviews I made the following adjustments: Line an 8×8 pan with foil and spray with non-stick spray. Dissolve 2 tsp instant espresso in 1/3 c water and add 1 tsp vanilla extract. Drain and rinse one can black beans. Combine the beans and liquid in a food processor/blender/nutri-billet. Use a spoon to combine one box Betty Crocker Dark Chocolate brownie mix and black bean mixture It will be thick like muffin batter. Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. They are sooo rich and gooey and delicious! The entire family loved them!

Quick and super yummy

Pretty tasty. I blended my black beans really well and really couldn’t taste them in the brownies. Brownies were not rich and chewy like usual but they satisfied my taste for chocolate and I only needed to eat one.

Super tasty!! I added mini chocolate chips on top prior to baking!!!

This was SO easy and they are delicious!

The texture of these is a dense, soft cookie.

Simply amazing. I was planning to frost these but they don’t need it! You cannot taste the black beans. I’m in love!

Get right outta town! Who’d have thought these would be a hit? When kids act like it’s their job to hate beans, it’s nice to lovingly watch them guzzle some beans down in some brownies. I even made some ‘adult’ brownies with a spicy cinnamon brownie mix. I also love that these can be as vegan friendly as you’d like them to be.

I’ve heard people rave about this style of black-bean-brownie recipe, so I gave it a try. I’m not sure what the point is. I used Betty Crocker™ Supreme Triple Chunk Brownie Mix and low-sodium black beans. The brownies turned out super dense, moist and gummy. Not sure these are any better than if I made the recipe from the side of the box. I probably won’t make these again.

I made this exactly as described, with the addition of sprinkles. They were delicious and extremely moist! With normal brownies I’d worry they were undercooked, but without any egg, it was not a concern. My family prefers brownies moist so these were an instant win. Both of my sons were begging for more!

I made these for my kid, but she won’t eat them because they are not “crispy on top”. These brownies turned out very soft and moist, which I am fine with! But anybody that likes a chewy brownie might want to skip, or maybe see if leaving them in the oven a bit longer will help.

I’ve made this recipe several times, tweaking, here & there, depending on my mood….I used black coffee as a replacement for water, then threw in a dash of almond extract…divine!
