1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—trust me on using parchment, or you’ll be scraping stuck superfruit nibbles while your pup does impatient antioxidant spins.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth but with small chunks for texture variety. Leaving some banana pieces creates interesting discoveries in each bite.
3. Mix in blueberries with mashed bananas, then stir in oat flour, applesauce, and egg until your dog starts doing his superfruit alert dance from the incredible antioxidant aroma.
4. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheet about tablespoon-sized. Keep them rustic for more browning surface area and unique nibble character.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking at 12 minutes, until firm and lightly browned. They’re done when they smell like fruit paradise.
6. Let cool completely before serving—about 15 minutes if your pup can wait that long for antioxidant nibbles. Always let cool completely to achieve perfect texture and prevent burned tongues.

Notes

• Always let cool completely before serving to prevent burns and achieve optimal fruit nibble texture
• Amber prefers these when the fruit flavors have had time to meld and concentrate
• Leaving some banana chunks creates appealing texture variety dogs love

Storage Tips

• Store in airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days maximum
• Refrigerate for longer storage to maintain fresh fruit quality
• Use within a week for maximum antioxidant potency and freshness

What Makes This Recipe Special

These nibbles combine natural potassium from bananas that supports heart health with powerful antioxidants from blueberries for immune system boost. The oat flour provides gentle digestive fiber while preserving maximum fruit nutrition—way better than processed fruit treats with artificial blueberry flavoring and synthetic vitamins that don’t absorb as effectively.
