Urfa Bibir Black Bean Brownies

These are hands down the best black bean brownies I've ever eaten. Urfa Bibir gives these decadent, gluten-free brownies a kick of heat and an earthy, coffee undertone. The flavors are such a perfect pairing with black beans, particularly black tepary beans, that it's like they were made for each other. This is a very grown-up brownie recipe...because why would you waste these on the kids! They are such a hit whenever I serve them that people simply can't stop eating them. I may never have brownies another way ever again.
