Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the blueberries to a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped without turning them into a liquid.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, chopped blueberries, and egg, and stir until evenly blended.
- Gradually add the flour to the bowl, mixing until a stiff dough forms that holds together.
- If the dough seems too dry or crumbly, add the water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough is soft but not sticky.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness with a rolling pin.
- Cut the dough into small chew-sized shapes using a cookie cutter or knife.
- Arrange the pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each chew.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are firm and lightly golden.
- Turn off the oven and leave the chews inside with the door slightly ajar for about 15 minutes to cool and dry further.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chews cool completely at room temperature.
- Store the cooled chews in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Always use plain cooked sweet potato with no added salt, butter, oil, or seasoning.
- Do not use any artificial sweeteners; xylitol is toxic to dogs.
- If using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain excess liquid before pulsing for a less sticky dough.
- Adjust chew size based on your dog’s size and chewing habits to reduce choking risk.
- Introduce any new treat gradually and monitor your dog for any signs of sensitivity.
