Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup grated carrot
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups oat flour
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup pumpkin purée, ½ cup grated carrot, and 1 egg. Stir until smooth.
- Gradually add 2 cups oat flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. If too sticky, add a little more oat flour; if too dry, add a splash of water.
- Scoop out the mixture (we use a tablespoon measure for this) and form into balls. Place them on the prepared baking tray. Flatten the balls slightly with the back of a spoon or your hand.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until firm and lightly golden.
- Allow treats to cool fully on a wire rack before serving or storing. For a firmer treat, cool in the oven.
- Serve as a treat.
Substitutions
- Use shredded parsnip instead of carrot
- Substitute oat flour with brown rice flour
