Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (make sure it doesn’t contain xylitol)
- 2 cups oat flour (you can make this by grinding rolled oats in a blender)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 cup water (as needed)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and peanut butter until well blended.
- Add the oat flour and cinnamon (if using) to the mixture. Stir until combined.
- If the dough is too dry, add water a little at a time until you achieve the right consistency. You want the dough to be pliable but not sticky.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. You can use cookie cutters to create fun shapes or simply cut them into squares.
- Place the cut treats onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the treats are hard and lightly browned.
- Allow the treats to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
