Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups rice flour
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
Steps
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes as per manufacturers instructions.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the pumpkin puree, eggs and peanut butter. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Add the rice flour and mix into a dough. If the mixture is too moist, add more flour. If it's too dry, add more pumpkin puree or water.
- Roll the dough out in between two layers of parchment paper, about ¼ inch thick.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the dough.
- Place a square of parchment paper in the air fryer, then place the cookies on top in one layer. You will need to cook the cookies in batches.
- Cook at 190C/370F degrees for 5 to 6 minutes until the cookies are firm.
- Remove and allow to cool before giving as a treat.
