✅ 2 large eggs

✅ 2 cups whole-wheat flour

Step 1: Prep Your Baking Station
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix & Knead the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, peanut butter, pumpkin, and water until smooth. Stir in flour, cinnamon, ginger, and salt, then transfer to a floured surface. Knead the dough for about a minute until it comes together.
Step 3: Roll & Cut the Biscuits
Divide the dough into four portions. Roll out one portion to about 1cm thick, using extra flour if needed. Use a dog bone cookie cutter to cut out biscuits and place them ½ cm apart on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
Step 4: Bake & Cool
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
