Makes approximately 5 - 6 dozen treats depending on size of cookie cutter. They freeze well too.
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
1/2 cup pure pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/4 cups water
4 cups whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup quick cook oats, *set aside ¼ cup
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, combine applesauce, egg, pumpkin, vanilla & water.
In a second bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, cinnamon *and 1/2 cup oats.
Add dry to wet ingredients and mix well. (I used the food processor to pulse everything together since the 5 cups of dry ingredients makes this challenging to mix.)
Turn dough onto floured surface and knead. *Sprinkle reserved ¼ cup oats on top of dough and roll out to ¼ inch thick and cut into shapes. Reroll scraps and repeat.
Place on parchment or greased cookie sheet and bake 25 minutes - 35 minutes, according to the size and your oven. Watch and remove when slightly browned. Cool on a rack and store in sealed container.
*You can mix the entire ¾ cup of oats in at once with the other dry ingredients if you prefer.
