Super duper yummy and fluffy and I don't feel like I'm just giving my kids a bunch of refined garbage. I will definitely experiment more- it's a great base recipe!

I love all the variation on this recipe--from those who make it w/o sugar to those who make it vegan. I, for one, will be blending it with my old 4-H brownie recipe. Just made this one tonight and my husband and I are blown away. Cakey, light, and airy. If he'd let me, I'd devour the whole batch. Thank you!

I decided that, given the fact that I'm seriously needing to make a more conscious effort to eat healthier, I'd give these brownies a go. I wish they would have tasted and felt more like a "real" brownie. Thanks for posting this, but my search for the perfect healthy brownie recipe continues.

The flavor was quite good, but the texture is definitely not like a regular brownie. Almost like they were too moist, but not in the fudgey way you want a brownie to be moist. My brother-in-law said it was almost like a mousse or other creamy dessert that was chilled to be semi-solid. They definitely were only semi-solid, they fell apart easily and are best eaten with a fork. I substituted 1/2 cup agave nectar for the sugar, and used only the yolks of the 3 eggs to cut down on the other liquids in the recipe because of that. With these modifications, I figured out the nutritional info. If you get 9 brownies from 1 recipe, then each brownie has 164 calories, 7 g fat (1 g saturated), 3 g fiber, and 4 g fiber. Each brownie is 3 Weight Watchers points. These were decent. The flavor was quite good, but the texture is definitely not like a regular brownie.

I used dried beans (boiled for 2 hours). I have nothing to compare it to as to how it will come out, but the batter sure tasted good!!
