Method
Step 1: Prep the Blueberries
- Mash blueberries with a fork until juicy and broken down.
- (If your dog likes texture, leave a few whole pieces.)
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.
Step 7: Cool Completely
- Cool on a rack—crunchiness improves as they cool.
