Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned or quick oats (ground into flour)
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour for gluten-free)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup unsweetened, xylitol-free peanut butter (creamy preferred)
- 1 large egg (or flax egg: 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water)
- Pinch cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
- 1/4 cup finely grated carrot or apple (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Pulse oats in a food processor or blender until finely ground into flour. If using oat flour, skip this step.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, oat flour, and a pinch of cinnamon (if using). Stir to mix.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and egg (or flax egg) until smooth.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms. If too dry, add a teaspoon of water; if too wet, sprinkle in more flour.
- Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Cut out shapes using cookie cutters or slice into squares.
- Arrange biscuits on prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until firm and dry to the touch.
- Transfer biscuits to a wire rack and let cool completely before serving.
Notes
Use only unsweetened, xylitol-free peanut butter. For gluten-free treats, substitute oat flour for whole wheat flour. For egg-free, use a flax egg. For crunchier biscuits, leave in the oven (turned off) with the door slightly open for 1 hour. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days, in the fridge for 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
