These brownies are just okay. They're not bad, but they're not great either. I probably won't make them again.

I had some trouble getting the brownies to bake evenly. The edges were overcooked while the center was still undercooked.

These brownies are a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they were a little lighter and fluffier.

I was a bit skeptical about trying these brownies because I'm not a huge fan of lentils. But I was pleasantly surprised! They were really good! The lentils added a nice texture and flavor to the brownies.

These brownies were a hit at my last party! Everyone loved them, even those who are not usually fans of lentils. They are fudgy, moist, and have a delicious chocolate flavor. I will definitely be making them again.
