ingredients:

• 2 slices bacon, diced
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup old fashioned oats
• 3 cups whole wheat flour, or more, as needed

instructions:

• 1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
• 2.) Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon & cook until brown & crispy, about 6-8 minutes; set aside, reserving excess fat.
• 3.) In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat pumpkin puree, eggs & bacon fat on medium-high until well combined, about 1-2 minutes. Gradually add old fashioned oats & 2 1/2 cups flour at low speed, beating just until incorporated. Add an additional 1/4 cup flour at a time just until the dough is no longer sticky. Add bacon, beating just until incorporated.
• 4.) 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 & place onto the prepared baking sheet.
• 5.) Place into oven & bake until the edges are golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.*
• 6.) Let cool completely!
