Jessica, thank you for answering Sarah's question, I didn't quite know the answer for sure!

You'll have to soak & cook your dried beans, but once they are cooked you'll want two cups. So about 1 1/4 cups (give or take) dry.

Completely unrelated- my daughter is on a (medically necessary) very high fiber diet and these brownies are WONDERFUL for sneaking in extra fiber. I add about 1/3 cup of whole wheat flour.

[...] SUPER healthy, AND REALLY tasty food? May be I am TOTALLY weird, but when I saw this recipe for Secret Ingredient Brownies, I had to give it a shot. Even though no one in our family is gluten-free, I love to find recipes [...]

Hi! I only have dry black beans on hand. Do you know how much dry beans will be equal to 16oz cooked? I know there is quite a bit of expanding that happens.

These were the best brownies ever! My son loves sweets and my husband who rarely eats sweets ate the whole pan. I followed the recipe exactly maybe used a little less raw sugar ( was running low) but could not taste the beans at all I really rinsed well in a strainer. The chocolate nuttiness was all we tasted. Making another one now . Thanks

Yes that's me.. commented twice.
Yes, I made the brownies today and ... well... er... I think I'll tweak it and try again. It reminded me of a sweet bean filled bun from the Chinese grocer.

I'll report back with take two (if it's good!).

Thanks Lisa, in these pictures I did not add the flour. Are you going to try it with the flour?
