Ingredients
  

  • cups oat flour
  • cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs divided (1 in mixture, 1 for egg wash)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. (1)
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add oat flour, old fashioned oats, applesauce, pumpkin puree, and 1 egg to a bowl. Mix until fully combined. Dough should be somewhat sticky, but not tacky. If your dough is sticking to your hands, add 1 tbsp extra flour. If your dough is falling apart, add 1 extra tbsp of applesauce or pumpkin puree.
  • Scoop a heaping tablespoon. Roll into 12" pieces. Form a "U" shape and then fold down twisting into a pretzel shape. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining dough.
  • Whisk remaining egg and brush on top of pretzels before baking.
  • Bake for 25 minutes in air fryer or 30-35minutes in oven until the tops of the pretzels are golden brown.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

1. Baking time can vary based on the equipment used. I tested this recipe in my Breville Air Fryer and my traditional oven and the air fryer cooked the pretzels faster than my oven. Bake until tops become golden brown 25-35 minutes.
