things people ask

• Do bean-based desserts need more sugar?
  Usually yes — beans absorb about 30% of the original sugar load without adding sweetness of their own. Bump sugar by 15-20g per cup of bean puree, or use a sweeter form (brown sugar, honey) to carry flavor. Taste batter before baking to confirm sweetness reads at least as expected.
• Can I use black beans in vanilla-flavored desserts?
  Not recommended — black bean earthiness needs 30g cocoa or equivalent dark flavor per cup to mask. In vanilla or fruit bakes, chickpeas or white beans puree cleaner. If committed to black beans, add 1 tsp espresso powder plus 2 tbsp cocoa to push register toward chocolate.
• How do I prevent a rubbery texture in bean brownies?
  Rubber comes from insufficient fat relative to bean protein, which over-sets as it cools. Raise fat by 10-15g per cup puree and include at least 1 egg per cup for emulsion. Pull brownies 3 minutes early — carryover sets the final crumb without toughening it.
