Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened, unsalted peanut butter
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats and flour. Mix them well to fully incorporate.
- Add the wet ingredients: Stir in the peanut butter, pumpkin puree, and the egg. Gradually add water until the dough is cohesive and slightly sticky.
- Knead the dough: On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 5 minutes. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour.
- Shape your pretzels: Roll the dough into ropes, then twist them into traditional pretzel shapes. Let the kids help with this part—it’s so much fun to create!
- Bake: Place your pretzels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden and firm to the touch.
- Cool and serve: Let the pretzels cool completely before treating your furry friend.
