Ingredients

1 ½ cup (150g) gluten-free oats
½ cup all-natural peanut butter
½ cup canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper of a silpat.
In the bowl of a food processor, add oats and pulse until you have a course oat flour. Then add pumpkin, peanut butter, and maple syrup.
Pulse, then process on high until all ingredients are incorporated and a dough forms. You may need to stop it occasionally to wipe down sides of bowl.
Transfer dough to a silpat or parchment-lined pastry board. Roll dough to ¼ inch thickness. To keep dough from sticking to rolling pin, place an additional piece of parchment paper on top of dough.
Use a cookie cutter and press shapes into the dough, then place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Pull away extra dough and reroll. Bake for 12-15 minutes, edges should start to golden. Allow gluten-free dog biscuits to cool completely on the baking sheet before storing them in an airtight container.

Notes

To store: Store dog treats at room temperature in an airtight container for 5-7 days.

To freeze: Place treats in a freezer-safe ziplock bag and freeze up to 3 months.

Since this recipe makes a large number of biscuits, freeze a portion and take them out as needed.
I used this cookie cutter to make bone shapes, but any cookie cutter or small lid will work to cut out the dough.
If you don't have a food processor, use a high-powered blender to blitz your oats, then transfer to a large bowl and stir all ingredients together.
