¼ cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  2. Add oats to food processor and pulse for 1 minute.
  3. Add beans, cocoa powder, honey, applesauce, vanilla extract, and baking powder.  Pulse to mix.
  4. Add the eggs and pulse to mix. 
  5. Remove the blade and fold in ¼ cup dark chocolate chips.
  6. Spread batter out in an even layer in the baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle remaining dark chocolate chips on top.
