When my little Ruby started turning her nose up at store-bought treats, I realised something simple: she deserves more. Not just something that tastes good, but something made with real ingredients I can pronounce, that supports her health, digestion and happiness. That’s how this blueberry dog biscuits recipe was born: a crunchy, wholesome snack made with blueberries, oats, and love.
Because our dogs aren't just pets—they’re family.
Blueberry Dog Biscuits Recipe (Easy, Healthy, Homemade)
Why I Created This Recipe
What Makes This Recipe Special
Blueberries = Antioxidant power: these tiny blue gems are packed with vitamins C & K and fiber, helping support your dog’s immune system and digestive health.
Oats = gentle, nourishing carbs: oat flour or ground oats provide a more sensitive-stomach friendly base than many wheat flours.
No fillers, no mystery ingredients: just clean, dog-safe components you’d be happy to eat yourself (if you insisted!).
Crunchy yet approachable: made to be crisp enough for crunch-lovers, but with enough chew for older pups with gentler teeth.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (or process into oat flour)
½ cup fresh or thawed frozen blueberries (unsweetened)
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
1 tablespoon honey (optional – for special occasions)
1 large egg
1 – 2 tablespoons water (adjust for dough texture)
-
Optional add-ins:
1 tablespoon ground flax or chia seeds (for Omega-3s)
2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (for extra fibre + digestion support)
Recipe Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
If using whole oats, pulse in a blender or food processor until a coarse flour forms — leave some texture for chew.
In a medium bowl, mash the blueberries gently with a fork so some juice is released but berries remain intact.
Add Greek yogurt, egg, and honey (if using) into the blueberries; stir to combine.
Mix in the oat flour until a dough forms. If dough feels too dry, add 1 tablespoon water; too wet, add extra oat flour.
Scoop dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll or flatten into small biscuit shapes (you can use cookie cutters, bone shapes, or simple rounds).
Arrange biscuits on the prepared sheet, spacing a little apart.
Bake 12-15 minutes or until edges are just golden. For crunchier texture, extend to 18-20 minutes but watch carefully.
Let biscuits cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
Storage & Serving Tips
Storing: Place completely cooled biscuits in an airtight container. Store in fridge for up to 5-7 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Serving size guide (approximate, adjust for your dog’s size & diet):
Small dogs (<15 lbs): 1-2 biscuits
Medium dogs (15-30 lbs): 3-4 biscuits
Larger dogs (30+ lbs): 5-6 biscuits
Always supervise treat giving and account for total daily calorie intake.
Texture tip: If you want extra crunch, after baking leave the oven door cracked and let biscuits sit in the hot oven for 10 minutes.
Travel/gift idea: Pack a jar of these biscuits and attach a small tag “Baked with love by _____ for paws you adore”.
Variations & Customisation
Pumpkin-Blueberry: Replace Greek yogurt with ¼ cup pumpkin puree and boost oats by 1 tablespoon for a fall version.
Grain-free option: Use almond flour or coconut flour instead of oats (note: texture will differ and bake time may vary).
Soft training bite version: Reduce bake time to ~10 minutes, flatten thinner, and store in fridge for a softer treat ideal for older dogs.
Mini size for puppies: Roll dough thinner and cut into ½” rounds or small bones; bake ~10 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes — thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture. You may need to add a little extra oat flour.
Is honey safe for dogs?
In small amounts for adult dogs, yes, but skip if your dog is diabetic or under 1 year old.
Do I need to wash the oats?
No — just process or grind them if you want a finer texture.
How crunchy should they be?
They should be crisp at the edges but still have a little chew. If your dog prefers crunchy, bake longer or dehydrate afterwards.
Final Thought
Making your own dog biscuits isn’t just about saving money — it’s about giving your dog something real. Something you crafted with your own hands, filled with ingredients chosen for their benefit, and baked with love.
When Ruby takes the first bite and gives me that “another please” look, I know I did right by her.
So grab your oats and blueberries, preheat the oven, and let your pup enjoy a treat made by you — because they deserve nothing less than the best.
Save this recipe for rainy afternoons, gift-giving, and moments when you want your dog to feel extra special.
Happy baking—and tails up for real food for pups everywhere! 🐶💕
