3 eggs
3 tablespoons oil
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup sugar
Directions
1Mix ingredients together in a blender/ food processor until pureed.
2Pour into a greased 8x8 cake pan.
3Stir in some chocolate chips and nuts, or leave plain.
4Bake 350 appx. 30 minutes.
5Let cool completely before cutting.

Interesting, I'm trying it. How many servings? 12? 16?
Here is the healthier recipe for the Black Bean Brownies

I don't think your nutrition info is correct. It says the whole recipe is 1 serving and there's only 16 carbs? The sugar alone probably has more carbs than that.
I have used beans in a great many recipes over the years.
I can hardly wait to try these brownies.
these are delious i add 14 cup ao apple sauce makes a moister brownie
BLACK BEAN BROWNIES! this is such a strange sounding recipe to me, that i HAVE to try it!
