Pet Friendly Treat: Muffin's Kitchen

Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats (or oat flour)
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (plain, not pie filling)
• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
• Optional: 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (ensure xylitol-free)
• Optional: 1 to 2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour to help bind the dough

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin puree, mashed banana, and applesauce. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too wet, add more oats; if too dry, add more pumpkin or applesauce.
3. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut shapes, or form small balls and flatten them by hand.
4. Place the treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until firm and lightly golden.
6. Allow the treats to cool completely before serving.
