- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk the pumpkin puree with the beaten eggs until well combined and creamy.
- Gradually add 2½ cups of whole wheat flour while mixing with a rubber spatula until just combined. Add ¼ cup of flour at a time, just until the dough is no longer sticky.
