Easy 4-Ingredient Blueberry Dog Treats
Easy 4-Ingredient Blueberry Dog Treats made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, eggs and blueberries. The perfect healthy treat for your dog.
I love to make homemade treats for Layla! She’s so easy to please, hehe. She’s loving these Whole Wheat Blueberry Treats. According to The American Kennel Club, blueberries are a great treat for dogs! Just as we benefit from the fiber and antioxidants so do our four legged friends š
They are really simple to make with only 4 ingredients – whole wheat flour, coconut oil, eggs and blueberries! Melt the coconut oil, mix with the flour, add in the eggs 1 at a time, fold in the blueberries and they are ready to roll, cut and bake!
The dough can get a little sticky so make sure you flour your working surface and rolling pin š You can cut them into any shape, but I love these little dog bone cookie cutters, you can find them here!
If your pup is like Layla they may not last long, hehe. But, if you are looking to prolong the freshness store them in an airtight container or better yet keep them in the freezer!
Getting Layla to pose for a treat while I take a photo reminds me why I prefer my photography subjects to be inanimate, hehe!
The photo above took lots of outtakes….
“Bird!”
And some treat snatchings!
I hope your pups enjoy them just as much as Layla!

Such a fun recipe! I’m going to keep it in mind for my friends that have dogs!
Wasnt bad, just very mushy. Had to add more floUr
Could I use a microwave to bake these instead? I currently do not have an oven or air fryer…
Thanks! I’ll give it a try! š
Great dog treat! Super easy to make and our Lil Man, j.d., loves them! I have attempted several homemade treats for dogs and often have a hell of a time because they are too sticky. These weren’t! Thanks!

I’M SO GLAD YOUR PUP LIKED THEM! THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR FEEDBACK!
Can i use coconut flour instead
I’ve never tried this recipe with coconut flour. Usually when you substitute coconut flour you need to increase the liquid content of the recipe which would be hard to do here since there isn’t much liquid to begin with. but if you wanted to tr,y i would suggest using 1 cup coconut flour and 1/4 cup water.
Can I use oats instead of flour and honey instead of coconut oil?
Hi Niamh, sorry for my delayed reply! If you ground up the oats that would probably work as a substitute for flour (I have not tried, so I am not 100% sure). I do not think honey will sub for coconut oil, you could use peanut butter instead of coconut oil.
Tried this LAST NIGHT & it was a hit with all 3 dogs. One dog just swallowed them whole. I added Pumpkin, TURMERIC, RASPBERRIES, strawberrieS, salmon oil, bacon and msm. I tried tgem myself it WASN’T that bad, a bit bland but in all they loved it. Thabk you.

haha! Yay, I’m so glad the pups liked them! I love all the additions you put in too!
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Also if I am going to use peanut butter instead of coconut oil, would I use the same amount of pbut butter?
Making these tonight and instead of fresh berries I’m going to use dried blue berries and bananas.
how much peanut butter would I use to substitute the coconut oil
Hi lona! Use the same amount of peanut butter as coconut oil
I couldn’t get it to firm up it stayed very wet even after adding a considerable amount more of flour.
★★★
Can I add carrots?
I’ve not tried, but I’m sure you could! They will add moisture, so you may either need to add a little more flour or cut back on the blueberries.
My picky shih tzu loved these. she’s usually into meaty treats and no biscuits but these were a hit. i blended up oatmeal to use as oat flour and and a little bit more than just a half cup of blueberries. I let them bake for 20 minutes instead and then let them cool. I put a thin layer of almond butter on them and she devours them (she still loves them without the almond butter). Thanks for this recipe!!!
★★★★★
I’m so happy to hear! I love the addition of the almond butter, what a treat!
You shouldn’t use coconut oil because any coconut product is bad for dogs.
★★
Where did you hear coconut oil was bad for dogs?
Ikr like who says that-
Coconut oil is the healthiest to use for dogs
Hi i love these treats. Ive been making them in my pyramid pan and Collary bone mOld, i want to freeze them in freezer bags so i can make big batches. How long do they keep in the fridge and how long in the freezer?
★★★★★
Hi Hannah! So glad you like them! They will keep up to 5 days in the fridge in an air tight container. In the freezer they will keep up to 3 months!
Hi, i plan on trying this Recipe out This weeKend. As iām reading in i got stuck on the coconut oIl part. Do i use liquid coconut oil or refined?
Hi Dawn! Great, so glad you are going to give them a try! You will want to use refined coconut oil, but you will melt it before adding it to the batter.
Love the bLuEberry cookies for my dog. He loves them also!!!
★★★★★
I’m so glad, thanks for leaving a review š
It’s goofy this way, would need lots of flour and it’s not much I put on the pan as is!
Amazing I loved making these with my dog
★★★★★
I’m so glad!
I haven’t tried this yet but will be using all organic ingredients. We cook our dog her food but need a crunchy snack for her teeth. Is this snack crunchy or soft?
★★★★★
These treats come out pretty soft.

Could I bake these using a microwave instead?
