  3. Gently mash the blueberries, leaving a few small pieces for texture.
  4. Add the sweet potato, blueberries, oat flour, and egg to a mixing bowl.
  5. Stir until the ingredients form a soft, workable dough.
  6. Press or roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Cut the dough into small, dog friendly strips or shapes.
  8. Arrange the chews on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, or until the treats are firm and lightly dried.

Recipe Notes
  1. Use plain cooked sweet potato without butter, salt, sugar, or seasoning. Wash the blueberries thoroughly before using them.
  2. For a firmer, longer lasting chew, bake the treats a little longer at a low temperature to remove additional moisture. Homemade treats contain no commercial preservatives, so store them properly.
  3. Keep refrigerated and use within a few days, or freeze for longer storage.
  4. These chews are treats rather than a replacement for your dog's regular complete and balanced food.
