1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—don’t skip this or you’ll be scraping treats off the pan.
2. In a bowl, mix the pumpkin puree and fresh blueberries until gorgeously speckled (your dog will probably start getting excited from the pumpkin smell alone).
3. Add the oat flour, egg, and coconut oil, stirring until you have a slightly sticky dough that holds together well—if it’s too wet, add oat flour one tablespoon at a time.
4. Roll the dough into small walnut-sized balls and place on the baking sheet, then flatten each slightly with a fork for those classic cookie ridges dogs love.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until firm and slightly golden around the edges—your whole house will smell like autumn magic.
6. Let them cool completely before serving (I know those begging eyes are hard to resist, but safety first).

Notes:

• Always use plain pumpkin puree, never pumpkin pie filling with spices
• Perfect soft-chewy texture that’s great for training or everyday treats
• High fiber content means start with smaller portions until your dog adjusts
• These stay moist longer than regular biscuits thanks to the pumpkin

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight container for up to 2 weeks at room temperature
• Refrigerate for up to 1 month for maximum freshness
• Freeze for up to 3 months—they thaw quickly for spontaneous training sessions
• Don’t leave uncovered—they’ll dry out and lose that perfect chewy texture

What Makes This Recipe Special: Unlike store-bought training treats filled with fillers and preservatives, these combine pumpkin’s natural digestive benefits with blueberries’ powerful antioxidants. The soluble fiber in pumpkin helps regulate digestion while supporting a healthy gut microbiome. It’s functional nutrition disguised as delicious treats your dog will beg for.
