Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour or oat flour plus extra for rolling
  • 1 cup plain canned pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup natural peanut butter xylitol-free
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 to 2 tbsp water only if needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and eggs until smooth.
  • Add the flour a little at a time, mixing until a firm dough forms.
  • If the dough is too dry, add 1 tbsp of water at a time until it holds together.
  • Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  • Cut the dough into shapes using a small cookie cutter.
  • Place the treats on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until firm and lightly golden.
  • For crunchier treats, turn off the oven and let the treats sit inside with the door slightly open for another 20 minutes.
  • Cool completely before serving.

Notes

Use plain canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. Always use xylitol-free peanut butter and check the label for birch sugar. Store cooled treats in an airtight container for 5 to 7 days, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
