Start by gathering the ingredients: whole wheat flour, old-fashioned rolled oats, baking powder, peanut butter, egg, pumpkin puree, and skim milk.

Use a good quality peanut butter with only peanuts as the ingredient.

In a bowl, combine 3/4 cup pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1 egg, and some skim milk.

Add 1/2 teaspoon each of cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric to the wet mixture.

Mix the wet ingredients until combined.

In another bowl, add 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats and 1/2 tablespoon baking powder to the wet mixture.

Gradually mix in 1 cup of whole wheat flour until a dough forms.

Knead the dough by hand to ensure it's well mixed.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough.

Place the cutouts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Bake the treats in the oven until golden brown.

Once cooled, drizzle warm peanut butter on top of the treats.
