Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour Provides a sturdy base and source of complex carbohydrates for energy.
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats (uncooked) An excellent source of fiber, aiding in healthy digestion and promoting fullness.
  • 1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter (xylitol-free) A fantastic source of protein and healthy fats for energy. Crucially, ensure it does NOT contain xylitol, which is highly toxic to dogs.
  • 1/2 cup Pureed Blueberries (fresh or frozen, thawed) Packed with antioxidants to support overall health and a vibrant, natural color.
  • 1/4 cup Water (or less, as needed) Helps bind the ingredients together to form a workable dough.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for sweetness and binding) Can add a touch of sweetness and further aid in dough consistency.

Equipment

  • - Oven
  • - Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Rolling Pin
  • Knife or pizza cutter
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and rolled oats until well combined.
    2 cups Whole Wheat Flour, 1 cup Rolled Oats (uncooked)
  3. Add the xylitol-free peanut butter, pureed blueberries, and honey (if using) to the dry ingredients.
    1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter (xylitol-free), 1/2 cup Pureed Blueberries (fresh or frozen, thawed), 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for sweetness and binding)
  4. Gradually add water, about a tablespoon at a time, mixing until a firm, yet pliable dough forms. You may not need all the water, or you might need a tiny bit more, depending on the consistency of your peanut butter and blueberries. The dough should not be sticky.
    1/4 cup Water (or less, as needed)
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness.
  6. Use a knife or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into desired chew stick shapes (approximately 1/2 inch wide by 3-4 inches long). You can also use small cookie cutters for fun shapes!
  7. Carefully transfer the cut dough shapes to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
  8. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the chews are firm to the touch and lightly browned around the edges. For a chewier texture, bake for a shorter time; for a crunchier treat, bake for longer.
  9. Once baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chews cool completely on a wire rack. This is important for achieving the right texture and for food safety.

Notes

Store cooled chews in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2-3 months.
