Does anyone have a somewhat healthy recipe for brownies?

    What is your definition of "healthy"? Do you simply want something lower-calorie? Are you looking for something with more protein? Only certain ingredients? Are you following a specific diet (like paleo, keto, plant-based, etc.)? "Healthy" is a pretty vague word that can mean very different things to different people.

    If you're interested, I have a recipe I like for black bean brownies that have a bit of a protein boost compared to classic ones, but I don't avoid sugar or sweeteners or anything like that and I use animal products, so it might not be what you had in mind.

    These weren't bad. No one could guess about the secret ingredient. http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/09/06/no-flour-black-bean-brownies/

    I had earlier tried another version of the same that I didn't like as much, but that was before I learned that when using black beans it's important to puree the heck out of them.
