The image shows a stack of rectangular, golden-brown bars with visible dark blue spots of blueberries inside each bar, arranged loosely on a white plate sitting on a white marbled surface. The texture of the bars looks soft but dense, with little pieces of oats or grain visible. Around the bars, whole fresh blueberries add a pop of deep blue color. On the right side of the plate, there is a silver spoon holding a smooth swirl of light brown peanut butter. The background is softly blurred with light beige fabric, bringing focus to the bars and topping. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 ripe banana (mashed)
1/4 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free only!)
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 egg (optional, for extra binding)
1 1/2 cups rolled oats or oat flour
Splash of water or applesauce if needed

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly and then mix in the natural peanut butter.
Step 3: Add the blueberries and the egg, if using, and stir to combine.
Step 4: Gradually stir in the rolled oats or oat flour until a soft dough forms. Add a splash of water or applesauce if the dough feels too dry.
Step 5: On a floured surface, roll out the dough and cut it into fun shapes using cookie cutters.
Step 6: Place the shaped treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, until firm.
Step 8: Allow the treats to cool completely before offering them to your dog.

Tips & Variations

Always use natural peanut butter without xylitol, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
Substitute rolled oats with oat flour for a finer texture.
Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor, which is safe for most dogs.
If you have a dog with allergies, swap blueberries for diced apples or carrots.

Storage

Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months. Reheat frozen treats briefly at room temperature before serving.

How to Serve

The image shows several bone-shaped treats on a white plate with a smooth, shiny surface. Each treat has two layers: a thick, light brown outer layer filled with dark blue and black berry pieces, giving a speckled look. The bone treats are evenly spaced across the plate, with some fresh dark blue blueberries scattered around as decoration. The plate rests on a white marbled surface that adds softness to the setting. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
