Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon water or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 medium ripe banana mashed
  • 1 large egg

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add the blueberries and water or low-sodium chicken broth to a small saucepan.
  3. Cook over low to medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until most berries have burst and the mixture looks loose and jammy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Remove the blueberry mixture from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  5. While the blueberries cool, place the rolled oats in a food processor and pulse until they form a coarse flour.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, mashed banana, and egg, and stir until a soft dough forms.
  7. Lightly flour a work surface with a bit of oat flour and roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  8. Spoon small amounts of the cooled blueberry mixture over the surface of the rolled dough.
  9. Use a butter knife or toothpick to gently drag the blueberry mixture through the dough to create swirled, marbled patterns.
  10. Use a small cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into bite-size shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the treats are set and lightly golden at the edges.
  12. Let the treats cool completely on a wire rack before serving to your dog.

Notes

- Use low-sodium chicken broth with no onion, garlic, or added seasonings.
- You can substitute additional water for the broth if your dog is sensitive to fats or sodium.
- Make sure the blueberry mixture is fully cooled before swirling into the dough to avoid making it too sticky.
- Store cooled treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, then refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- For longer storage, freeze the treats in a sealed container or bag for up to 2 months.
