Dog Treat Ingredients
- 1 cup apples, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 large egg
- Prepare the fruit: Peel and chop the apples into small pieces to ensure even blending and avoid large chunks in the dough. Rinse the blueberries if using fresh.
- Blend ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped apples, blueberries, flour, and egg. Blend until a uniform dough forms, making sure the mixture is well incorporated and firm enough to handle.
- Shape the treats: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out or shape the dough into small, bite-sized pieces or use cookie cutters for fun shapes suitable for your dog’s size.
- Bake the treats: Place the shaped treats on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the treats are firm and lightly golden on the edges.
- Cool completely: Remove the treats from the oven and let them cool fully on a wire rack. This ensures they firm up properly and are safe for your dog to enjoy.
Notes
- Use whole wheat flour for fiber and better nutrition, or substitute with oat flour for a gluten-free option.
- Ensure treats are completely cooled before giving to your dog to prevent burns.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
- Always introduce new treats slowly and monitor for any adverse reactions.
- These treats are suitable for most dogs, but consult with your vet if your dog has specific dietary restrictions.
