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

How to Make Blueberry Granola Dog Treats
Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 cup blueberries
- ¾ cup granola
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup hot water
- 2 eggs
Supplies Needed:
- Mixing Bowls
- Dog Bone Cookie Cutter
- Parchment Paper
- Cookie Sheet
- Cooling Rack
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350° degrees Fahrenheit.
Add whole wheat flour, granola, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Blend until mixed.
Add eggs and about ½ cup of hot water. Mix well.
Continue adding water until a dough like consistency.
Place dough ball on a floured surface and knead for about 3 minutes. HINT: If it's too sticky, you can put your dough ball in the freezer to chill for about 30 minutes.

Serving Suggestions & Uses
Serve these like hard biscuits - not too many, but enough to make them happy.
Ruby is 20 lbs and Callie is 65 lbs, they get somewhere around 2-3 a day. Although they would gladly take more if offered.
How to Store Blueberry Granola Dog Treats
Keep these treats in an airtight container. They're really crunchy, so they're good as long as you don't get them wet.
Tips
Make sure not to overwork the dough. You'll lose some of its stretch if you overwork it. It'll get that pizza dough spring back where you roll it out and it shrinks back up.
Make sure to find a peanut butter that does not have any artificial sweeteners like xylitol in it - that’s toxic to dogs.
Try out different cookie shapes and sizes with this cookie cutter from Amazon.
Frequently Asked Questions
What blueberries can you use?
We like fresh, frozen, or even dried blueberries. You should avoid dried blueberries that are sweetened and blueberries that use artificial sweeteners.
Can you make these with any other fruit?
Definitely! You can use 1 cup of canned pumpkin or 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce in place of the blueberries. If you're using applesauce or pumpkin, you won't need a lot of water, so pay attention!
Can you bake these in other shapes?
For sure! I like to use bone-shaped cookie cutters, but you can just cut the dough into whatever shapes you want: squares, rectangles, circles, hearts, even Easter bunnies or Christmas trees.
What if I don't have 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.
