This is surprisingly awesome. I was skeptical, but I was completely proven wrong. This is a crazy healthy and delicious desert. Make it!. (I think it’s best cold so I suggest putting it in the fridge.)
I adapted this recipe from www.naturallyknockedup.com
Good luck!!!!

Just to preface, I am no novice when it comes to gluten free baking, baking with “odd” ingredients, and I have no aversion to the “health food taste” of baking with wholesome ingredients.
That said, I’m sorry Lillian, this recipe was not a winner. It was pretty awful. The bean taste and texture was only partially masked by the other ingredients.
But after all, it’s a “test kitchen”, right? Better luck next recipe
It is a test kitchen! I’m sorry you didn’t like it. Oh well. I hope that one bad experience doesn’t stop you from trying lots of new (sometimes odd) ingredients and new recipes!
Thanks so much for your video Lillian. I just baked these and they taste incredible (I can’t taste the beans at all). I used butter beans (all I had in the cupboard), coconut oil and brown rice syrup for the sweetener. I can’t believe how fudgy they are!
AWESOME. That’s so cool that butter beans work! I hadn’t thought of using other beans. But now I want to try it!
