- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl using a fork or potato masher until well combined. If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of water or more peanut butter.
- Form the dough into 1-inch balls using your hands or a small cookie scoop.

- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the treats are firm to the touch and lightly golden.

Notes
- Storage: Store treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
- Ingredient Substitutions: You can substitute blueberries with other dog-safe fruits like apples or strawberries, and use almond butter or sunflower seed butter if your dog has a peanut allergy.
- Tips: Ensure all ingredients are dog-safe and that peanut butter does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
