Who doesn't love spoiling their dog with homemade dog treats? These easy granola blueberry dog treats made with blueberries will become your dog's favorite cookie!
These dog biscuits were on the spur of the moment. I found a package of frozen blueberries in the freezer when I was cleaning out the freezer. My dogs, Ruby and Callie, love these granola blueberry treats, so I thought it would be fun to make them for them. They LOVE them.
I also love to give my dog treats that have recognizable ingredients. I know what's in them, so I know both my puppies won't get garbage. I also love how much she loves them.

How to Make Easy Granola Blueberry Dog Treats Recipe
Ingredients:
- Whole Wheat Flour
- Blueberries
- Cinnamon
- Granola
- Hot Water
- Eggs
Supplies Needed:
- Mixing Bowl
- Cute Dog Bone Cookie Cutters
- Parchment Paper
- Cookie Sheet
- Cooling Rack
Directions:
Preheat Oven to 350° degrees Fahrenheit.
Add whole wheat flour, granola and cinnamon in large mixing bowl. Stir until mixed.
Add eggs and about ½ cup hot water. Mix well.
Continue adding water until a dough like consistency.
Sprinkle a little flour on the counter and place the dough ball onto the surface, kneading it for about 3 minutes. If it's too sticky, you can place it into the freezer for about 30 minutes to chill.
Roll the dough out to approximately ¼ inch thickness, then cut with the cookie cutters. Hint: Dip the cookie cutter into the flour on the counter for easier cutting.
Place on parchment paper on a cookie sheet or a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 20-minutes. Check for doneness.
Store in an air-tight container.
Serving Suggestions & Uses
Serve these like hard dog biscuits - not too many, but enough to make them happy.
Ruby is 20 lbs and Callie is 65 lbs, they get about around 2-3 a day. Although they would gladly take more if offered.
Storage and Shelf Life
Keep these treats in an airtight container like a mason jar. They're really crunchy, so they're good as long as you don't let them go bad.
Notes:
Make sure not to overwork the dough when kneading it. You'll lose some of its stretch if you overwork it. It will get that pizza dough spring back where you roll it out and it shrinks back up.
Find a peanut butter that does not have any artificial sweeteners like xylitol in it, which is toxic to dogs.
There are so many fun dog cookie cutters, so try out different cookie shapes and sizes with this cookie cutter from Amazon.
F.A.Q.'s
What Blueberries can you use in Dog Treats?
We like fresh, frozen, or even dried blueberries. I used frozen blueberries for this recipe. You should try to avoid dried blueberries that are sweetened and blueberries that use artificial sweeteners.
Other Fruits you can use in Dog Treats?
Definitely! You can use 1 cup of canned pumpkin or 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce in place of the blueberries or even sweet potatoes. If you're using applesauce or pumpkin, you won't need a lot of water, so pay attention!
Can you bake these treats in other shapes?
For sure! I like to use bone-shaped cookie cutters, but you can just cut the dough into whatever shapes or use any other cookie cutters you want: squares, rectangles, circles, hearts, even Easter bunnies or Christmas trees.
What can you use in place of a rolling pin?
You can use a large bottle of wine or any round glass bottle instead of a rolling pin. Just make sure that the bottle is clean and not too rough.
