Melt 2 sticks of butter and 4 oz unsweetened chocolate ('Baker's' chocolate') in a pot on the stove. If you know of a way to alter it, I would definitely try it because 2 sticks of butter is a heck of a lot of fat! Recipe is below. I don't generally use a brownie mix since I have an awesome and easy 'from scratch' recipe.

Have any of you tried altering brownie mixes? What have you found? I am reposting this recipe because so many have asked for nutrition information and Points+ values. I have heard that adding a can of pumpkin is another way to have delicious brownies with fewer calories. Even with the addition of black beans, this is still a treat so be careful of your serving size. PattiR tried undercooking them and I have heard that it works. My brownies turned out a bit more like cake than I like. How could you mess it up? Honestly, you can't taste the beans. Why? The mix alone has sugar, chocolate, and chocolate chips! My favorite mix is Ghirardelli Chocolate - Double Chocolate Brownie Mix. How does it taste? It is kinda amazing because I didn't tell people about the beans and they loved the brownies. Black beans have 24% of your daily value of fiber in 1/2 cup. But the comparison shouldn't stop there, because the black beans have ZERO saturated fat - while the egg and oil combination has 6.7 grams (for the entire brownie mix).Īlso, with black beans you will be adding fiber. For 1/3 cup canola oil and one egg (which is what you add to my favorite brownie mix) you are looking at 705 calories vs. Why would you add black beans instead of oil and an egg?įirst, let's look at calories. I've found if i undercook them just a little bit, it's more dense which is how I like my brownies. I've made this several times and no one has guessed that there are BB in it. If you haven't tried this recipe - drop what you're doing.go the store, buy the two ingredients and rush home.
