Pumpkin Blueberry Chews


Description

Blueberry granola bars with fresh blueberries on top, stacked on a rustic surface. Perfect for a healthy snack or breakfast, featuring oats, honey, and rich blueberry flavor. Ideal for homemade, nutritious treats.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (8 oz) canned pumpkin puree, plain (vitamins A and C for immune support and digestive health)
  • 1/2 cup (4 oz) fresh blueberries, mashed (antioxidants for overall health and inflammation fighting)
  • 2 cups (16 oz) oat flour (gentle fiber for healthy digestive system and gluten-free binding)
  • 1 large egg (complete protein and natural binding for perfect chew texture)
  • 1/4 cup (2 oz) coconut oil, melted (medium-chain fatty acids for coat health and antimicrobial benefits)

Instructions

  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 superfood chews while your pup does impatient wellness spins.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, mashed blueberries, and egg until well mixed. Blend these wet ingredients thoroughly for even antioxidant distribution throughout every chew.
  3. Gradually add oat flour and melted coconut oil, stirring until your dog starts doing his superfood celebration dance from the incredible antioxidant aroma. Dough should be cohesive with gorgeous purple-orange color.
  4. Roll out dough on floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick, then cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Consistent thickness ensures perfect chewy texture throughout.
  5. Place chews on prepared baking sheet with space between each one and bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 18 minutes. They’re done when firm but maintaining perfect chew texture.
  6. Let cool completely before serving—about 20 minutes if your pup can wait that long for wellness chews. Always let cool completely to achieve optimal chewy consistency.

Notes

  • Always let cool completely before serving to prevent burns and achieve perfect chewy texture
  • Amber prefers these when they’ve had time to set and the superfood flavors have fully developed
  • The chewy texture provides satisfying dental benefits while delivering concentrated nutrition

Storage Tips

  • Store in airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks maximum
  • Use within two weeks for maximum antioxidant potency and optimal texture
  • Keep away from humidity to maintain perfect chewiness

What Makes This Recipe Special

These chews combine digestive-supporting pumpkin with immune-boosting blueberry antioxidants and healthy fats from coconut oil. The oat flour provides gentle, gluten-free fiber while creating satisfying chewy texture—way better than processed superfood treats with artificial berry flavoring and synthetic vitamins that don’t absorb as effectively.

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations)

Immune Boost: Add 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh cranberries for additional antioxidants and urinary tract support (perfect for senior dogs like Amber who need comprehensive health support)

Anti-Inflammatory: Add a tiny pinch of turmeric for joint support and gorgeous golden color

Seasonal Superfood: Substitute butternut squash puree for half the pumpkin for different seasonal antioxidant profiles
