Description
Antioxidant-packed superfood balls with immune support – colorful nutrition in naturally sweet, energy-sustaining treats
Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes | Makes: 16-20 balls

Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries, mashed (packed with immune-boosting anthocyanins and antioxidants)
- 1 cup cooked sweet potato, mashed (fiber for digestive health and beta-carotene)
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour (energy-sustaining carbohydrates and natural binding)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (healthy fats for coat health and amazing aroma)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (natural moisture and fruit sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper—essential for perfect results.
- Combine mashed blueberries with mashed sweet potato, creating gorgeous purple-orange swirls.
- Add oat flour gradually, then melted coconut oil and applesauce until dough forms.
- Roll into 1-inch diameter balls using your hands (if your pup can wait that long).
- Place on prepared baking sheet with even spacing for consistent baking.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until firm to touch and lightly golden.
- Cool completely before serving—these nutrient-dense balls retain heat longer than simple treats!
Notes:
- Always let cool completely for safe serving and best texture development
- Amber prefers these slightly crispy outside with tender, flavorful centers
- If mixture seems too wet, add oat flour gradually; too dry, add more applesauce
Storage Tips:
- Store in airtight containers at room temperature for up to 2 weeks
- Refrigerate for up to a month for maximum freshness and safety
- They actually develop better flavor after sitting overnight
