Preheat the oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Mix the wet ingredients: In a bowl, whisk the pumpkin, applesauce, egg, and peanut butter until smooth. Add yogurt if using.

Add the dry ingredients: Stir in the oat flour. If the mixture feels thick and sticky, add water a little at a time until you have a thick, scoopable batter—more like cookie dough than bread dough.

Shape the treats: Use a small spoon or mini cookie scoop to drop teaspoon-sized portions onto the sheet. For training treats, aim for pea to marble size. Lightly flatten the tops with wet fingers for even baking.

Bake: Bake for 10–14 minutes, depending on size. You’re looking for set edges and a soft center. They should feel springy, not dry.

Cool completely: Let them rest on the tray for 5 minutes, then move to a rack. Cooling helps them firm up while staying tender.

Adjust softness (optional): For extra-soft treats, remove 1–2 minutes earlier. For chewier treats, bake 1–2 minutes longer.
