Ingredients:
- Vegetable cooking spray
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup liquid egg substitute
- 1/3 cup cooked black beans, or drained and rinsed canned beans
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 squares unsweetened baking chocolate, melted and stirred
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips

Substitution: To reduce the calories, use 1/2 cup spoonable sugar substitute and 1/2 cup regular sugar in place of the 1 cup regular sugar.
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 9×9 inch pan with vegetable cooking spray.
- Combine the sugar, egg substitute and beans in a food processor; process until very smooth.
- Transfer the bean mixture to a medium-size mixing bowl. Stir in the flours, butter and chocolate until smooth. Add the vanilla and chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Transfer the mixture to the baking pan.
- Bake approximately 25 minutes; the middle should be slightly jiggly and wet when removed from the oven. Cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving.
