Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Pure pumpkin puree (unsweetened, no spices) | 1 cup |
| Oat flour (or finely blended oats) | 2 cups |
| Unsweetened applesauce | ½ cup |

Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
-
In a medium bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, applesauce, and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
-
Stir in the oat flour and cinnamon (if using). The dough should be thick but slightly sticky — add more oat flour if needed.

Roll the dough into sticks about 4–5 inches long and ½ inch thick.
-
Place on the sheet with a little space between each one.
-
Bake for 20–25 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the sticks feel firm.

Cool completely on a wire rack before letting your dog enjoy one.
