Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a blender, puree the beans, applesauce, coconut oil, lemon zest, butter flavor, stevia extract, vanilla extract, and food coloring until completely smooth. Scoop the puree into a large bowl.
