Protein Brownies

So I have been experimenting with making a semi-healthy brownie.  Well the first attempt was a complete disaster but think all of you may enjoy this one.  My son, who is a very picky eater gave it a thumbs up so thought I would share it with the rest of you. 

Protein Brownie Wedges

1-½ cups of dates (without pits)
1/3-cup raw almonds
3 eggs
1 cup of cooked or canned black beans rinsed and drained
¾ cup of unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ cup oat flour
3/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all wet ingredients in a food processor or high-powered blender and mix until smooth. Mix in with dry ingredients using a wooden spoon until mixture is uniform.  Coat an 8x8 pan or a pie plate with nonstick spray and pour in.  Bake for 35 minutes.  You can sprinkle with a touch of powdered sugar for decoration.
