Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 by 8 baking pan with parchment paper. Optional to spray with nonstick cooking spray or grease with butter. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients: protein powder, flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
Process black beans in a food processor, blender, or well mash with a fork.
