    I have one a lot like this that I use. Here is mine. It might be a bit less healthy but still not bad

    Black Bean Brownies

    Ingredients

    Butter, for greasing pan
    3/4 cup cooked black beans
    1/2 cup applesauce
    2 eggs
    1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder(dark if I have it on hand)
    2/3 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon instant coffee or espresso
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 teaspoon almond extract
    1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, divided
    1/3 cup flour
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    confectioners' sugar, for dusting

    Directions

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 9-inch square baking pan.

    In a blender, puree the beans with the applesauce. Add the eggs, cocoa, sugar, coffee, almond, and vanilla. Melt half the chocolate chips and add to the blender. Blend on medium-high until smooth. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the blender and pulse until just incorporated. Stir in the remaining chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake until the surface looks somewhat matte around the edges and still a bit shiny in the middle, about 20 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting and removing from the pan. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.
