Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 eggs
- 2 to 4 tablespoons water
- ¼ cup dried blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Process Oats: Place the old-fashioned oats in a food processor and pulse for 15 to 30 seconds until the oats are finely ground into a flour-like consistency.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Pour the ground oats into a medium mixing bowl, then add the eggs and unsweetened applesauce. Whisk together until the oat flour is completely moistened.
- Adjust Dough Consistency: If the dough seems too crumbly, add 2 tablespoons of water and whisk again. Continue adding water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together well.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the dried blueberries evenly throughout the dough.
- Shape Biscuits: Use a small or medium cookie scoop to form balls of dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball into discs using the flat side of a spatula lightly sprayed with nonstick spray.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits for 15 minutes if making small biscuits, or 20 minutes for medium-sized ones, until they are golden brown around the edges.
- Cool: Allow the biscuits to cool completely on a wire rack before serving them to your dog.
