Black Bean Brownies (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)

"I love this recipe! An easy, gluten free recipe for black bean brownies that have just the right combination of chocolate and cayenne to make you feel like you're having cafe and dulces in Mexico! Using a food processor is the easiest method, but a blender or even a potato masher can be used instead. My variation of a recipe found at LivingWithout.com."

  1. Not a fan. You can't taste the beans but the brownies weren't very good at all, they didn't taste like a brownie to me. I won't be making these again.
     
  2. 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.
