๐ซ๐ July 8th is National Blueberry Day and to celebrate, why not try making these yummy Blueberry Treats for your pups! ๐ซ๐
๐ซ๐ฅ Blueberry, Oat, and Peanut Butter Dog Treats ๐ซ๐ฅ
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh blueberries (Slightly chopped if very large - the frozen wild ones are perfect for this recipe)
2 ยฝ cups whole wheat flour
ยพ cup oats
ยฝ tsp salt
ยฝ tsp ground cinnamon
2 eggs, well beaten
3 tbsp peanut butter (Remember to use peanut butter does NOT contain Xylitol)
1/8-1/4 cup warm water, as needed
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment paper.
2. If the blueberries are large, chop them up a bit then place them in a mixing bowl.
3. Add the flour, oats, salt, and cinnamon to the bowl and mix until combined.
4. Whisk together the beaten eggs with the peanut butter then add to the blueberry mixture and mix until combined. The dough will be dry and crumbly so add about 1/8 cup of warm water, and mix until it sticks together in a ball. Add a little more water if it's still too dry.
5. Working on a floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Using dog treat cutters, cut out desired shapes, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 30-35 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container in the freezer or refrigerator. Enjoy.
