Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened peanut butter
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1/4 cup carob chips (dog-safe alternative to chocolate)
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: Start by measuring out the rolled oats, peanut butter, pumpkin puree, and flaxseed meal.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, add the oats and flaxseed meal. Stir to combine thoroughly.
- Incorporate the wet ingredients: Add the peanut butter and pumpkin puree to the dry mixture. Stir well until everything is evenly combined.
- Taste-test (optional): A little sniff and observation should tell you if it smells delightful!
- Form the bites: With clean hands, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. Aim for about 1 inch in diameter.
- Chill: Place the rolled bites on a parchment-lined tray and pop them into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve: Once the bites have set, they’re ready to be served!
- Store any leftovers: Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze some for later!
Notes
