Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ cup cooked carrots (mashed or pureed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)
  • Splash of water (to adjust dough consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrots: Cook the carrots until they are soft and tender, then mash or puree them to form a smooth consistency suitable for mixing into the dough.
  2. Prepare the Blueberries: If you are using frozen blueberries, allow them to thaw slightly and then blend them into a puree for easy incorporation into the dough.
  3. Make the Carrot Dough: In one bowl, mix half of the oat flour with the carrot puree and half of the beaten egg to create a smooth orange dough base.
  4. Make the Blueberry Dough: In a separate bowl, combine the remaining oat flour with the blueberry puree and the remaining half of the egg to form a purple dough.
  5. Adjust Dough Consistency: Add a splash of water to each dough mixture as needed to achieve a pliable but firm dough that is not too sticky, suitable for shaping.
  6. Form the Twists: Roll out strips from both the carrot and blueberry doughs and carefully twist them together securely to create colorful twists.
  7. Bake the Twists: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the twisted dough strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 25 to 30 minutes until they are firm and have a golden hue.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the twists from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before serving them as treats for your dog.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability; thaw frozen berries before use.
  • Cinnamon is optional but safe in small quantities for dogs and can aid in digestion.
  • Ensure carrots are cooked well to avoid choking hazards and improve digestibility.
  • Store the treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
  • Always introduce new treats gradually to your dog’s diet and consult with your vet if unsure about any ingredient.
  • Coconut oil adds moisture and skin benefits but can be omitted if preferred.
