INGREDIENTS
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
2 1/8 cups oat flour
DIRECTIONS
First things first, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and get that baking sheet lined with parchment paper
Mash those blueberries in a large bowl until they get juicy, it's okay to have large chucks just as long as each blueberry gets a smash
Add the coconut oil and whisk together
Toss in the oat flour and mix it all up until it forms a dough. If it's feeling too sticky sprinkle in a bit more flour
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Get creative with cookie cutters - bone shapes for that extra doggy flair!
Load those cute shapes onto your prepared baking sheet and bake away for 15 minutes
NOW FOR THE FUN PART...For slightly softer treats, remove from the oven after baking for 15 minutes, BUT if your dog prefers their treats extra crunchy treats, keep the treats in the oven and reduce the heat to 200 degrees and slow bake for 2 hours
Whether you take the cookies out of the oven after 15 minutes or keep them in for a slow bake, once they're ready to come out allow them to cool before serving and be sure to store them in an airtight container
Helpful DogMom Tips:
Slowly introduce new foods to your furry friend to avoid any tummy surprises.
If your pup is sensitive to oat flour, swap it out with brown rice flour or wheat
Share the love by gifting these treats to fellow dog parents!
