Blueberry Oat Chews for Dogs

 

Blueberry Oat Chews are a healthy, soft, and delicious treat packed with antioxidants and fiber.  They're perfect for dogs who love a flavorful, chewy snack and make an excellent reward for training or just a wholesome treat!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (rinsed and

patted dry)

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 large egg

1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil (optional, for

added moisture)

1 cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour)

1/4 cup rolled oats (optional, for added texture)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165C) and line a

baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries applesauce, egg, and oil (if using). Stir until evenly mixed. Gradually add the oat flour and rolled oats, stirring until a thick batter forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more oat flour 1 tablespoon at a time.

3. Shape the Chews

Drop small spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet or shape them into small discs or bite-sized balls.

4. Bake

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chews are firm on the outside but still soft in the center. Avoid overbaking to maintain a chewy texture

5. Cool Completely

Allow the chews to cool completely on a wire rack before offering them to your dog.
