Ingredients:

– 1 cup pumpkin puree

– 1/4 cup peanut butter

– 2 large eggs

– 1/2 cup old fashioned oats

– 3 cups whole wheat flour, or more, as needed

– 1 carrot, peeled and shredded

– 1 zucchini, shredded

– 1 cup baby spinach, chopped

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.

2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat pumpkin puree, peanut butter and eggs on medium-high until well combined, about 1-2 minutes.

3. Gradually add old fashioned oats and 2 1/2 cups flour at low speed, beating just until incorporated.

4. Add an additional 1/4 cup flour at a time just until the dough is no longer sticky. Add carrot, zucchini, and spinach, beating just until incorporated.

5. Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using cookie cutters cut out desired shapes and place onto the prepared baking sheet.

6. Place into oven and bake until the edges are golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

7. Let cool completely.
