Method
Prepare and preheat
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the 3/4 cup rolled oats in a blender or food processor and pulse until they form a coarse flour (oat flour). Measure and set aside.
Mix the dough
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, egg, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
- Add the oat flour and whole wheat flour plus the ground cinnamon to the wet mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a thick dough forms.
- If the dough feels too dry and crumbly, add 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time until it holds together but is not sticky.
Roll, cut, and bake
- Lightly flour a work surface with a little of the reserved whole wheat flour. Roll the dough to about 1/4-inch (6 mm) thickness.
- Cut into shapes with cookie cutters or a knife. Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet about 1/2 inch apart.
- If using, lightly sprinkle the tops with the reserved rolled oats and gently press so they adhere.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the biscuits are slightly golden. Smaller shapes may need less time.
- Remove from oven and transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely — they will crisp further as they cool.
Serving and storage
- Allow treats to cool completely before giving to your dog. Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
- Freeze extras in a sealed bag for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
