Blueberry Oat Dog Muffins for Dogs Baked as Soft Mini Treats with Whole Oats

Ingredients:

* 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats (plain, dry, finely pulsed but still textured)

* 1/2 cup (120 g) blueberries (fresh or frozen, gently mashed)

* 1/2 cup (120 g) unsweetened applesauce (plain, no sugar added)

* 1 large egg (beaten, room temperature)

* 1/4 cup (60 ml) water (as needed for batter consistency)

* 1 tsp (5 g) baking powder (aluminum-free)

Supplements:

* 1 tsp (5 ml) salmon oil (mixed into batter, supports skin and coat health)

* 1/4 tsp (0.5 g) ground eggshell powder (very finely ground, optional calcium support)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard muffin pan with paper liners.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine mashed blueberries, applesauce, beaten egg, salmon oil, and eggshell powder. Mix until well blended.

3. Add rolled oats and baking powder. Stir gently until evenly combined. Add water gradually to form a thick, spoonable batter.

4. Fill each muffin liner about 3/4 full, lightly leveling the tops.

5. Bake for 18–22 minutes until muffins are set and lightly golden. A toothpick should come out clean.

6. Remove from oven and allow muffins to cool completely before serving.

7. Optional: Press 2–3 fresh blueberries gently on top after baking for the look shown.

Storage:

Store muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

Benefits:

* Blueberries provide antioxidants and natural sweetness without added sugar.
