   The brownies look delicious. But do they taste like beans at all, because i
   dont like or eat beans.

   I’ve never seen black bean in a can anywhere I’ve shopped. Is there an
   alternative to black beans?

    Thanks VietnamG!

    Thank you! I guess it would depend on your goals. Gaining? Eat the whole
    batch! Haha. However for the average person 2 would be ideal (usually what
    I eat).

    Hi Ebby! I would use great northern beans as a substitute and if you can’t
    find those then pinto would work as well.

    Thanks for watching!

    Thanks for the prompt reply 🙂 Cant wait!

    Just put some in the oven! The update in 30 mix… I destroyed what’s left
    of the batter so I think this is going to be a hit. 🙂

21. alonzoub on March 25, 2013: (Reply)

    Is there a substitute for coconut oil? All I have in the house is grapeseed
    oil and olive oil. Thanks for the vids, this looks delicious!

22. Adrian Moseley on March 27, 2013: (Reply)

    My first attempt at these last night go ok reviews from the family. I
    personally was not crazy of the stevia after taste. So tonight I tried
    again using honey as my sweetener and these were really enjoyed by the
    family. Thanks dude! Next up are those peanutbutter cups 🙂

23. The Protein Chef on March 29, 2013: (Reply)

    Good deal! Did you end up trying it with honey? Thanks for the feedback
    Adrian

24. The Protein Chef on March 29, 2013: (Reply)

    At least you liked the batter! Lol

25. The Protein Chef on March 29, 2013: (Reply)

    I haven’t made it without coconut oil so it’s hard for me to comment
    however if I were to substitute I would use regular butter over olive or
    grapeseed oil. You could also try throwing in more unsweetened apple sauce
    and not using any coconut oil at all.

    does the recipe work the same with kidney beans or can i only use black
    beans ?

30. FitAnge S on March 30, 2013: (Reply)

    Omg I love these! Thank you so much I’m definitely going to make these.
    Love your videos so far

31. The Protein Chef on April 1, 2013: (Reply)

    Awesome 🙂 Thanks FitAnge!

32. The Protein Chef on April 1, 2013: (Reply)

    Great Northern or Pinto beans would be the only thing I would substitute
    the black beans for!

33. FitAnge S on April 1, 2013: (Reply)

    Your welcome please keep up the great videos

34. TheConstantComet on April 3, 2013: (Reply)

    I just made these and my pan was much bigger, so they came out like a sheet
    cake. Very good flavor. I can taste the ‘artificial sweetener’ taste a tiny
    bit. I really like these. The texture is great and the flavor is amazing. I
    am used to drinking protein shakes and using splenda and artificial
    sweeteners, so these taste fantastic to me. Great job on this recipe–
    never would have thought black beans could make such a great dessert!

35. The Protein Chef on April 4, 2013: (Reply)

    Awesome! You could always cut down on the sweetener (or use honey instead)
    if it’s too overwhelming too. Thanks!

36. The Protein Chef on April 11, 2013: (Reply)

    I like both. It would really depend on the mood you’re in

37. The Protein Chef on April 11, 2013: (Reply)

    Haha! How did you like them?

38. The Protein Chef on April 12, 2013: (Reply)

    Woo!

39. zach dekker on April 19, 2013: (Reply)

    Hey Derek, just wondering if you can switch the coconut oil for a different
    kind of oil. Coconut oil is really high in saturated fats (right next to
    hydrogenated cottonseed oil) and is not one of my favourite choices for
    that reason. Would olive oil, vegetable oil, or flax seed oil work ok in
    this recipe instead of coconut?

40. The Protein Chef on April 20, 2013: (Reply)

    Hi Zach! Yes, you could sub it for those. I should note that although
    coconut oil is high in saturated fat, it’s extremely healthy (in
    moderation) so don’t shy away from it just because of the saturated fat
    content unless of course you’re getting your saturated fats elsewhere and
    this would put you over your daily limit.

41. zach dekker on April 20, 2013: (Reply)

    Oh ok that’s great then because coconut oil is absolutely delicious! I try
    to stay away from saturated fats so I’m almost certain I’m not getting them
    in excess amounts from too many other sources. Based on a body weight of
    165lbs at 5′ 10″ tall, what would say a reasonable approximate saturated
    fat intake would be? I go to the gym 4-5 days a week and have a very active
    lifestyle (in terms of body building and motivation, not drinking). Would
    these factors weigh into that intake? Thanks!

42. Ryan J on April 21, 2013: (Reply)

    Geej, these look good too. Ty

43. The Protein Chef on April 22, 2013: (Reply)

    I would say 20-30g a day of saturated fat would be good for you. Definitely
    don’t stray from it…they are very important (especially for your
    hormones!).

44. The Protein Chef on April 22, 2013: (Reply)

    Thanks Ryan!

    Thanks Ryan!

    great thanks for the quick response!!

47. ItsMariana on April 29, 2013: (Reply)

    can i do this in the microwave?

48. The Protein Chef on May 1, 2013: (Reply)

    I’ve never but I can’t say I’d suggest it!

49. ItsMariana on May 1, 2013: (Reply)

    i dont have a oven 🙁

50. The Protein Chef on May 3, 2013: (Reply)

    :(! I posted another microwave recipe today!

51. ItsMariana on May 3, 2013: (Reply)

    YAY thanks (:

52. ScottMuzzaMuscles on May 21, 2013: (Reply)

    Any other beans I could use? I cant find black beans anywhere here!

53. The Protein Chef on May 22, 2013: (Reply)

    You could potentially try great northern or pinto beans. I haven’t used
    them so I can’t testify to the taste but I can’t imagine it’d turn out bad.

54. Micah Vaughn on May 27, 2013: (Reply)

    So the black beans that I had were seasoned, but the end results tasted
    almost like a Mexican spiced dessert. It was so good I almost licked my
    blender! Keep the videos coming!(:

55. The Protein Chef on May 28, 2013: (Reply)

    Well that’s a unique and delicious sounding variation. I love spicy
    foods…maybe I’ll give this a go. Sometimes “mistakes” make things even
    better! Thanks for the comment

56. Rian Scalia on June 2, 2013: (Reply)

    Taste/cooking wise, does it matter if I use vegetable oil instead of the
    coconut oil?

57. The Protein Chef on June 2, 2013: (Reply)

    Hi Rian! I can’t see any issues with that substitute. You should be fine!

58. M II on July 21, 2013: (Reply)

    Wow! Great video! It was really easy to understand and thanks for uploading

    Tried this today I’ve also tried variations on your tuna cakes, pancakes,
    pumpkin pie and cheese cake. Yes its “diet food” but its the best diet food
    I’ve had, your really helping me get through my cut. Appreciate all the
    great content!

63. The Protein Chef on August 7, 2013: (Reply)

64. JustChooseFitness on August 29, 2013: (Reply)

    hahahaha after you took a bite it was like they were so good you couldnt
    think lol great vid

65. Pulse on September 14, 2013: (Reply)

    Can I replace the apple sauce and coconut oil with just a lump sum of
    canola?

66. Pulse on September 14, 2013: (Reply)

    You are awesome man. The fact that you reply to comments on videos so
    regularly really makes you stand out compared to the other channels.

67. The Protein Chef on September 15, 2013: (Reply)

    Absolutely. I can’t give you exact amount since I haven’t done it myself
    but I don’t see a problem with it working! Let me know how much you use!

68. The Protein Chef on September 15, 2013: (Reply)

    Thanks my friend. I do my best whenever I get some free time. Without all
    you guys (who I consider my friends) I wouldn’t have this channel!
