The Great Pumpkin Dog Treats & Cookies

Yields approximately 32 treats

Ingredients:

¼ Cup melted coconut oil (slightly cooled)

¾ Cup unsweetened applesauce

1 scant cup of canned pumpkin

½ tsp vanilla

2 tsp cinnamon

½ cups oats

¾ cup whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ cup carob chips

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

Mix coconut oil, applesauce and pumpkin until well combined. Then add vanilla and cinnamon until incorporated. Add oats, flour, baking powder and carob chips until mixed.

Place a rounded teaspoon of batter on a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet allowing at least an inch between each scoop. Flatten out the batter with the back of the spoon slightly to resemble a pumpkin shape; and using a small amount of batter, form a stem.

Bake for approximately 12 minutes. Treats should be lightly brown and slightly firm.
