Step 1: Preheat the oven.
- Set oven to 325°F (165°C) to keep the treats soft and chewy. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the blueberries.

Step 3: Mix wet ingredients.
- In a bowl, combine mashed blueberries, applesauce, egg, and optional melted coconut oil. Mix well.
Step 4: Add dry ingredients.
- Stir in oat flour and shredded coconut gradually until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms.
Step 5: Shape the treats.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet and gently flatten into small rounds.
Step 6: Bake.
- Bake for 14–18 minutes, until set but still soft in the center.
Step 7: Cool completely.
- Transfer to a cooling rack and allow treats to cool fully before serving or storing.
