Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Plain pumpkin puree | 1 cup (8 oz) | Unsweetened, unspiced — not pumpkin pie filling |
| Large egg | 1 | Helps bind and crisp |
| Xylitol-free peanut butter | 2 tbsp | Always check the label |
| Flour | 1¾–2 cups | Whole wheat or oat flour |
| Ground flaxseed (optional) | 1 tbsp | Adds omega-3s and texture |
| Ground cinnamon (optional) | ¼ tsp | For aroma — skip nutmeg |
| Water | 1–2 tsp as needed | For dough consistency |
Instructions
-
Preheat your air fryer to 330°F for 3–4 minutes. Line the basket with a perforated parchment sheet or lightly oil it.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin, egg, and peanut butter until smooth.
-
Add the flour, flaxseed, and cinnamon. Stir until a firm, non-sticky dough forms, adding water a teaspoon at a time if needed.
-
For cut-out treats, roll the dough to ¼ inch thickness and use small cookie cutters.
-
For piped sticks, place dough in a piping bag with a large round tip and pipe 1½–2-inch logs.
-
Arrange treats in a single layer with space for airflow.
-
Air fry for 10–14 minutes, flipping halfway through. The edges should be deep golden and crisp.
-
Let cool on a wire rack for 15–20 minutes.
-
Test one by snapping it—if it crunches cleanly, it’s perfect.
