| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pure pumpkin puree | 1 cup | Plain, unsweetened (not pie filling) |
| Oat flour | 1 cup | Can be made by blending old-fashioned oats |
| Unsweetened applesauce | ½ cup | Natural, no added sugar |

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix pumpkin puree, applesauce, peanut butter, and egg in a bowl until smooth.
Stir in oat flour and cinnamon. If the dough feels sticky, add more oat flour one tablespoon at a time.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thick.
Cut into shapes such as leaves, acorns, or dog bones.
Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until firm and golden.
Cool completely before serving to your pup.
