Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the plain pumpkin puree and natural peanut butter until well blended.
- Add the plain yogurt to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
- Gradually mix in the rolled oats until a thick dough begins to form. If the mixture is too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
- If using, sprinkle in the optional cinnamon and mix well.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spatula or your hands, scoop out small portions of the dough and shape them into bite-sized balls or flatten them into cookie shapes on the baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to help the treats firm up.
- Once firm, remove the treats from the fridge and they are ready to serve!
