Though that alliteration is lovely, I too was suspicious of these three words all put together. However, the result is quite good if you like fudge-like brownies.
Here's what you need: 2 cans of black beans and an instant brownie mix, preferably the fudge kind. Since I realize now that I'm not that into fudge brownies, I think I will try again. I'll let you know what's up when I do.
Here's what to do:

| I tried a piece :o) |
1. Preheat oven to 350 or whatever is on the package based on your baking dish.
2. Puree the black beans
3. Empty contents of instant brownie mix into large bowl.
4. Pour pureed black beans into bowl
5. Whisk. Looks surprisingly like brownie batter, eh?
6. Pour into baking dish, 13 x 9 or 9 x 9 will do.
7. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes. You'll know it's done if a toothpick inserted an inch from the edge of the dish comes out clean. Remember, these are fudge-like.
Your black bean substitute will only add 13 calories per brownie as well as zero cholesterol, some protein, and some fiber. Not a bad deal. Plus, this brownie is filling. Just one and you're done. I'd say that's a pretty good guilty pleasure. Let me know if you try a different instant mix or this other recipe I saw: one can of black beans pureed, a can's worth of water, and brownie mix.
In health,
Lauren
