Why Blueberry Oat Biscuits Are Perfect for Dogs
- Blueberries: Known as a superfood, packed with antioxidants and vitamin C.
- Banana: Adds natural sweetness, fiber, and potassium.
- Oat flour: Gentle on digestion, gluten-free, and high in fiber.
- No preservatives or additives: Only dog-safe, fresh ingredients.
Always use fresh or frozen blueberries, never sweetened or syrup-packed ones.
Ingredients You’ll Need
For about 20–24 small biscuits:
- 1 cup oat flour (blend rolled oats in a blender to make your own)
- ½ cup mashed ripe banana
- ¼ cup fresh blueberries (halved for smaller bites if needed)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Mash the Banana
In a bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. This will act as the base and natural binder.
3. Mix in the Oat Flour and Blueberries
Add the oat flour to the mashed banana. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
4. Roll Out the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to about ¼-inch thickness.
5. Cut Into Shapes
Use a bone-shaped cookie cutter or any small cutter to shape the biscuits. Place on the lined tray.
6. Bake the Biscuits
Bake for 15 minutes until firm and lightly golden.
7. Cool Before Serving
Let the biscuits cool completely before offering them to your pup.
