Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (plain)
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (no added sugars or xylitol)
- 2½ cups quick oats
- 2 tablespoons honey or unsweetened applesauce (optional)
- ½ cup coconut flour (or regular flour/oat flour)
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl: 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1 cup of peanut butter, and 2½ cups of oats. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until well combined.
- Add honey or applesauce, if using, for sweetness.
- Check the consistency: The mixture should be thick but pliable. Adjust with water or more peanut butter if too dry, or add more oats or coconut flour if too wet.
- Shape the treats by rolling them into small balls or pressing them into a lined baking tray.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour, then cut into squares if pressed into a tray.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
Ensure to avoid using pumpkin pie filling; use plain pumpkin instead. Also, check that the peanut butter is xylitol-free for dog safety.
