Pumpkin blueberry dog treats are a delicious and healthy snack for your furry friend.
These treats are made with cooked, mashed pumpkin which is a fiber-rich ingredient that supports digestive health in dogs.
Pumpkin blueberry dog treats are easy to make and require just a few ingredients, including whole wheat flour, oats, and honey.
To make these treats, combine 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup of oats, and 1/2 cup of mashed pumpkin in a bowl.
Ingredients
To make these delicious pumpkin blueberry dog treats, you'll need just six simple ingredients: canned pumpkin, blueberries, coconut oil, egg, oats, and cinnamon.
Make sure to buy 100% pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid any unwanted additives.
You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries, but if using frozen, be sure to thaw and drain them well before using.
This recipe doesn't contain any questionable ingredients like fillers, making it a healthier option for your furry friend.
The coconut oil adds a bit of fat to the treats, but not enough to make them high-fat.
My dog Sugar loves pumpkin, so I always keep some on hand to make her favorite treats.
Making the Treats
To make these pumpkin blueberry dog treats, you'll need to preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. This is the same temperature used in both the Beautiful Blueberry and Pumpkin Dog Treat Recipe and the Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Dog Treat Recipe.
The ingredients need to be combined and ground into a pulp, which can be done using a blender or food processor. According to the Beautiful Blueberry and Pumpkin Dog Treat Recipe, you'll need to grind the pumpkin seeds finely and then add the blueberries to create a pulp.
The applesauce, pumpkin, and blueberries need to be blended together, and then you can stir in the flour and pumpkin seed meal. This mixture should be kneaded into a stiff dough, adding water if necessary.
The dough can then be rolled out to a 1/2 inch thickness and cut into shapes using cookie cutters. Place the shapes on parchment paper-lined cookie sheets and bake for 30 minutes.
Here's a quick rundown of the baking process:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thickness
- Cut into shapes using cookie cutters
- Place on parchment paper-lined cookie sheets
- Bake for 30 minutes
After baking, let the treats cool and then refrigerate or freeze them in airtight containers or Ziploc bags.
