Ingredients
  

Key ingredients
  • 1 each ripe banana very ripe for sweetness and moisture
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree plain canned pumpkin or homemade (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 each egg room temperature helps bind evenly
  • 2 1/2 cups oat flour see notes below for substitutions

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
  3. Add the pumpkin puree and the egg to the mashed banana. Stir until fully combined and glossy.
  4. Gradually add the oat flour. Mix until the dough comes together and is no longer very sticky.
  5. Lightly flour a work surface with oat flour. Place the dough on it and roll to about 1/3-inch thickness.
  6. Use a cookie cutter to stamp out shapes. Place cutouts on the prepared baking tray, spacing them slightly apart.
  7. Re-roll any scraps and continue cutting until all dough is used.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until edges begin to darken slightly and centers are set.
  2. Transfer treats to a wire rack and let them cool completely; they firm up as they cool.

Notes

These treats can be broken into smaller pieces for training or crumbled over kibble. Store airtight at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Freeze for up to 3 months.
