- 1 tablespoon of applesauce

No Bake Peanut Butter Balls
From Damn Delicious
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 3 cups old fashioned oats, divided
Procedure: Mix the puree, peanut butter and milk until the ingredients are well combined. Then, as you are mixing some more, add the oats gradually to incorporate it. Using an ice cream or cookie scoop, create balls from this mixture and dredge with remaining oats. Freeze in the fridge for about an hour before serving.
To store the rest of the batch in the fridge for serving later, keep the treats in an airtight container.
Make sure that the peanut butter you use is safe for dogs, as some brands may contain Xylitol, according to Preventive Vet.
A variation of this peanut butter recipe is also available using coconut oil and chicken stock, according to Bark Post.
