Darlene’s Tips:  You could add about 1/2 cup of chopped nuts to this recipe.  Pecans or walnuts would be a good choice.  To make a simple pumpkin glaze or frosting, add a bit of milk or water to powdered sugar, just a few drops at a time, until you get the consistencey you want. Flavor it with some pumpkin pie spice and mix it in.

Darlene’s Tips:  I’ve never tried this recipe, but the pureed black beans are supposed to give these brownies loads of moisture without a bean flavor. If you don’t have a blender or food processor, you could just mash by hand. Add chopped nuts to this recipe if you want, either inside the mix or sprinkled on top or both.
