• 1 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
• 1 cup grated carrots
• 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour for gluten-free option)
• 1 egg
• 2–4 tablespoons water (as needed)

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix pumpkin puree, grated carrots, and egg until well combined.
3. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms. Add water if the dough is too dry.
4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ½ cm thickness.
5. Use bone-shaped cookie cutters to cut out treats.
6. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until firm and lightly golden.
7. Let cool completely before serving.

Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer freshness, refrigerate them for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Always ensure treats are fully cooled before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
