In a food processor or blender, pulse the oats until they are more the consistency of a crumbly flour. It is ok if they are not completely ground into a fine powder.
In a bowl, combine the oats, pumpkin, peanut butter, banana, and water.
Roll out the dough to about 1/4″-1/2″ inch thick. Note: the thinner they are the quicker they will cook.
I usually divide the batch up into three sections to roll out at a time.
Cut out desired shapes. Of course, dog bones are the cutest!
Lay the cut outs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper – not touching each other, but they can be close. I usually bake two sheets of these at a time for this size batch.
Bake for 20-30 minutes.
Flip and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes until the treats have dried out and crisped up slightly. If you want more of a soft-baked treat, cook for only 15-20 minutes on each side – depending on thickness.
These are super easy and pretty foolproof! When you are finished, store them in an airtight container for up to a week or throw some in the fridge to last longer!
