👩🍳 Directions
Step 1: Prep the Blueberries

Step 2: Mix the Dough Base
In a mixing bowl, combine mashed blueberries, egg, and optional applesauce.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Stir in oat flour, rolled oats, and flaxseed if using.
Mix until a firm dough forms.
If too sticky → add a bit more oat flour.
If too dry → add 1 tbsp water at a time.
Step 4: Roll the Dough
Lightly flour your surface.
Roll dough to ¼ inch thickness for crunchy treats.
Step 5: Cut the Treats
Use cookie cutters or cut into squares/strips with a knife.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 6: Bake Until Crispy
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes, or until firm, dry, and lightly golden.
