Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups oat flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (like PB2)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups organic pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the twists.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Combine the oat flour, powdered peanut butter, pumpkin puree, and the large egg together thoroughly by hand or using a stand mixer until you achieve a smooth dough.
  3. Divide Dough: Portion the dough evenly into 6 equal pieces for uniform baking.
  4. Prepare Surface: Lightly sprinkle oat flour onto a clean flat surface to prevent sticking when rolling.
  5. Roll Dough: Roll each piece into a thin log shape to prepare for twisting.
  6. Shape Twists: Form each log into a U shape and then twist the arms starting from the top to the bottom to create a beautiful twisted design.
  7. Bake: Place the twisted dough pieces on an ungreased baking sheet, then bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until cooked through and slightly golden.
  8. Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the twists to cool completely to set their shape and texture before serving.

Notes

  • Using oat flour makes this recipe naturally gluten-free, but ensure your oat flour is certified gluten-free if needed for strict gluten-free diets.
  • Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content while maintaining peanut flavor.
  • Be gentle when twisting the dough to prevent it from breaking.
  • These twists can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • For a vegan alternative, substitute the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water).
