![]() Ingredients You’ll Need:
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients Before diving in, gather all your ingredients and ensure your peanut butter is smooth and stir-able. If it's too thick, microwave it for about 10 seconds to make mixing easier. For the oat flour, you can either buy pre-made oat flour or simply blend rolled oats in a food processor until fine.If using fresh blueberries, wash and pat them dry to remove excess moisture. If using dried blueberries, ensure they are unsweetened and free of added preservatives. Step 2: Mix the Dough In a large mixing bowl, combine oat flour, ground flaxseed, and cinnamon. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly. Next, add peanut butter, applesauce, and honey to the dry mixture. Stir until a thick dough starts to form.Finally, gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. If the dough feels too dry, add a splash of water to bring it together. Step 3: Shape Into Chew Sticks Place the dough on a clean, flat surface. Use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten it to about ½-inch thickness. Cut the dough into long, stick-like shapes, about ½-inch wide and 4-5 inches long. If your pup prefers bite-sized treats, you can cut them into small squares or rounds instead. Step 4: Set and Firm Since this is a no-bake recipe, the chew sticks need time to firm up. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours. This helps the ingredients set and makes the chew sticks hold their shape. For a firmer, longer-lasting chew, you can also freeze them for about 30 minutes before serving. Serving and Storage Tips
