Blueberry Dog Treats

These homemade blueberry dog treats are simple, naturally fruity, and easy to bake with fresh blueberries, oat flour, egg, and plain pumpkin. I make them into small bite sized treats that work well as an occasional snack or training reward.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 | cup | fresh blueberries | I use fresh blueberries for natural fruit flavor
  • 1 1/2 | cups | oat flour | Creates the dough and gives the treats structure
  • 1 | | egg | Helps bind the ingredients together
  • 1/4 | cup | plain pumpkin puree | Adds moisture and helps create a workable dough
  • 2 | tablespoons | water | Add gradually if needed

Equipment

  • 1 | Mixing bowl | For combining the ingredients1 | Baking sheet | For baking the treats1 | Parchment paper | Helps prevent the treats from sticking1 | Small cookie cutter | For making bite sized treats1 | Rolling pin | For flattening the dough

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add the blueberries to a mixing bowl and gently mash them with a fork.
  3. Add the egg and pumpkin puree and stir until evenly combined.
  4. Gradually add the oat flour and mix until a soft dough forms.
  5. Add the water a little at a time if the dough feels too dry.
  6. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it to approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Cut the dough into small bite sized shapes using a cookie cutter.
  8. Arrange the treats on the prepared baking sheet with a little space between them.
  9. Bake for approximately 16 to 18 minutes, or until the treats are firm and lightly golden around the edges.
  10. Remove from the oven and allow the treats to cool completely before serving.
Recipe Notes
  1. Blueberry Tip: Use fresh or plain frozen blueberries without added sugar, syrup, or sweeteners. If using frozen berries, thaw and drain excess liquid first.
  2. Pumpkin: Use plain pumpkin puree without added sugar, spices, or pie filling ingredients.
  3. Texture Tip: For firmer treats, roll the dough slightly thinner and bake until completely set. Let the treats cool fully before judging their final texture.
  4. Storage: Store cooled treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can freeze them in small portions for longer storage.
  5. Common Mistake to Avoid: Do not add sugar, honey, artificial sweeteners, or flavored ingredients. The natural blueberry flavor is enough.
  6. Serving: Serve small pieces as occasional rewards or training treats. Treats should complement, rather than replace, your dog's complete and balanced diet.
