1. Start with antioxidant prep—preheat oven to 350°F and line your baking sheet with parchment paper because these superfruit biscuits deserve the best setup.
2. Create your berry base by mashing fresh blueberries in a large bowl until broken down but still chunky—you want those beautiful purple pieces throughout.
3. Build your healthy foundation by mixing oat flour, unsweetened applesauce, egg, and water with the mashed blueberries until you get a soft, workable dough that smells amazing.
4. Roll with precision on a floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness—the dough should be purple-speckled and hold together beautifully for cutting.
5. Cut into shapes using cookie cutters, creating biscuits that look like they came from a gourmet health food bakery with gorgeous berry speckles.
6. Bake to golden perfection for 20-25 minutes until firm—they’ll smell like a healthy bakery and have your dog doing cognitive celebration dances.
7. Cool completely before serving—this step helps them achieve that perfect biscuit texture while preserving all those valuable antioxidants.

Notes:

• Mash blueberries just enough to break them down while keeping some texture for visual appeal
• If dough seems too wet, add oat flour gradually until it reaches perfect rolling consistency
• Amber prefers these with a satisfying crunch that’s still gentle on senior teeth

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week
• Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks for maximum freshness
• Proper storage prevents softening from natural fruit moisture
• These make beautiful gifts for special occasions
