I made these for a friend who was gluten- and dairy-intolerant. She said they were great. I thought so too. This is a very dense brownie - loved the chocolate chips in it (found some that had no dairy products in them). OK, I was nervous but I couldn't taste the black beans at all! What a great recipe! Thanks.

Hi! I am happily married with two children, 26 and 12. For nearly 10 years when this site was Recipezaar and then Food.com I hosted several different forums. I enjoyed making, creating, reviewing, and photographing recipes, but what I miss the most are the friendships I made here. I was Food Editor for the Mill Creek View Newspaper in Mill Creek, WA. for about 4 years during that time. Currently I am the office manager at a small mental health clinic. I'm not on this site much anymore, but I do continue to appreciate and respond to all reviews posted to my recipes.
