• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (100% pumpkin, not pie filling)

• ½ cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)

• 2½ cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour for a gentler option)

• ¼ cup rolled oats

• ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

• ¼ cup water (as needed for dough consistency)

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, mix pumpkin puree and peanut butter until smooth.

3. Stir in oats and cinnamon.

4. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.

5. Add water a tablespoon at a time if dough feels too dry.

6. Roll dough out on a floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness.

7. Cut into bone shapes (or any shape you like).

8. Place treats on baking sheet and bake for 18–22 minutes, until firm.

9. Let cool completely before serving.
