Ingredients
1cupButternut Squash Cubesfresh or frozen
2Eggs
½cupUnsweetened Applesauce
3cupsOat Flour
Instructions
If using fresh butternut squash, boil or roast it until it is fork-tender. If using frozen, place it in a strainer and run cold water over it until defrosted and softened.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
Place the squash in a blender or food processor and blend. It does not have to be a smooth puree.
Place butternut squash, egg, and applesauce in a medium bowl. Stir until well combined.
Add oat flour to the wet ingredients and combine until a dough forms.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut shapes using your favorite cookie cutter. Re-roll and cut as needed.
Place the cutouts on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.
Allow the baked treats to cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet.
Notes
If you want to use fresh butternut squash you'll need to boil or roast it until fork-tender.
