Instructions
Step 1: Oven & Mold Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place silicone paw-print molds onto a sturdy baking tray for stability.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Silicone molds make removing the baked treats effortless without requiring any greasing oil.
Step 2: Puree Fruit Base
In a mixing bowl or blender, combine the blueberries and banana. Mash thoroughly with a fork or blend until smooth and vibrant purple.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Using ripe bananas naturally enhances sweetness without any added sugars.
Step 3: Mix Dry & Wet Ingredients
Whisk in the egg until combined, then gradually fold in the oat flour until a smooth, thick purple batter forms.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** If the batter feels too sticky, add 1 extra tablespoon of oat flour.
Step 4: Fill Paw Molds
Spoon the purple batter evenly into the silicone paw-print cavity molds, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Tap the baking tray gently on the counter to remove trapped air bubbles.
Step 5: Bake & Cool
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until treats are firm to the touch. Remove from oven and cool completely before releasing from molds.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Never feed warm treats to your dog; allow treats to reach room temperature.
