Tips
Make sure the black beans are well drained and rinsed before blending.

For the smoothest brownies, blend the beans until there are no lumps at all.

Don’t worry if the brownie seems soft when it first comes out of the oven — it firms up as it cools.

Store in an airtight container once completely cool.
