And it was… okay.
I used black cocoa powder so it looks burnt (but I swear it's not) and maybe a different kind of chocolate powder would have a better taste.
They didn't turn out very fudgy so I probably should have gone for more liquid (I used Coke Zero).
There was a slight sweetener aftertaste.
I don't know if I would try to make it again, to be honest. I topped mine with Halo Top Sea Salt Caramel and I think that's what really redeemed it. I know the calories are good but the flavour is lacking for me. It just doesn't taste like a brownie.

If you just used black cocoa, it won’t taste good. Most recipes that include it have a small amount of black cocoa and a larger amount of regular/natural process. Black cocoa on its own is lightly bitter and pretty bland, it has much less chocolate flavor than natural cocoa. So, you could try the recipe again with a mix of cocoas and might like it more.
