Time 50m

Yield 88 small balls

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups oat flour
1 egg
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons ground flax seeds
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Thoroughly mix together all ingredients in medium size bowl.
  • Shape into balls and place on lined baking sheet. This dough is very sticky so I let the mixture chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for easier handling. Then I scoop out balls with my silicone melon scooper and let them chill for about 10 minutes. Then I cut those balls in half with a sharp knife and roll into small balls.
  • If you don't want to spend the time forming the balls, use a spatula to smooth out the mixture on the lined baking sheet. When halfway baked, score with a pizza cutter. Watch your cooking time as the thinner they are the faster they will bake.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Note: To make them really crispy turn off the oven and leave the treats in for another 20 minutes. These treats have a crispy outside with a soft, moist center which means they will mold like any baked good. Keep refrigerated up to a week or freeze up to three months.
