Awesome! Thx for reporting back! Glad your friends liked them too!

Just to let you know, I made the second batch with 1/2 cup egg white instead of 1/4 cup (as you suggested) and it came together very nicely indeed. Thanks for the tip!
A couple of my gym mates have tried them and they couldn’t believe they were made from black beans. 😉

Thanks Liam! What an awesome compliment! Yes I agree, more brownie like than the Triple Chocolate Protein Bars. Anything with the addition of whey (and baked) seems to lose a bit of the fudge-like texture. Was your batter really smooth? If not, that could have made it a bit more crumbly. Did you remember the butter? I forgot it once, and the texture was off a touch. The peanut butter shouldn’t make a difference as its just a drizzle. If everything seemed right, I would suggest perhaps adding a touch more egg or egg whites to help it come together.

I just had one minor problem with mine in that they were a little bit more crumbly than I would have liked. Do you have any tips for how to keep them together more? (I left our the peanut butter ingredient because I wanted just to have the chocolate taste, which may or may not have been the cause for it being a bit crumbly)

So glad you like them!

 Thank you! Another question: Here in Vienna I just can’t find black beans, not in the reformshop or the asiashop, regular groceryshop etcetc… Do you think it would taste the same if I use white ones instead? Those are available everywhere. Thanks:-)

Yes, any of those options should work.

Thanks, so glad you like them! I agree, blending well is the key to their success 🙂

The most important step for me is making sure the beans are blended extremely well. If you have a cheap blender, like I do, it means  blending the beans, eggs, vanilla for many minutes – until there are no little chunks of bean left.  I didn’t do it once and I had chunks of black bean stuck in my teeth and they definitely tasted more ‘beany’.

Thanks for sharing 🙂

Yes, 350 degrees! Added that in 🙂

Did you follow the recipe exactly? I’ve served these to people that don’t eat healthy at all and they liked them! Did you rinse the beans really well? Use canned beans not raw black beans soaked? Perhaps they weren’t blended enough? Maybe they’re not for everyone, but I’ve never had the issue of people not liking them.
