- Fiber for healthy digestion
- Low sugar content compared to other fruits, making them more dog-friendly

Join The Club Today! 🐾🌟 Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Fresh or frozen raspberries (1 cup) 🍓
- Oat flour (1 ½ cups) 🌾 (or blend oats to make your own flour)
- Unsweetened applesauce (½ cup) 🍏
- One egg 🥚 (to bind the dough and add protein)
Optional: You can sprinkle in a pinch of cinnamon for flavor or add a tablespoon of peanut butter if your dog loves it. Just ensure the peanut butter is free of xylitol, an artificial sweetener that’s toxic to dogs.

👩🍳 How to Make 4-Ingredient Raspberry Dog Treats:
- Preheat Your Oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mash the Raspberries: In a bowl, use a fork to mash the raspberries into a puree. If using frozen berries, let them thaw first.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed raspberries, oat flour, applesauce, and the egg. Stir until a soft dough forms. The mixture should be sticky but manageable. If it’s too sticky, add a bit more oat flour.
- Roll and Cut: Lightly dust your countertop with oat flour and roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick. Use a cookie cutter (bone shapes are always fun!) to cut out treats.
- Bake: Place the treats on the baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool: Let the treats cool completely before serving them to your dog.
🐾 How to Store the Treats:
Once the treats are fully cooled, store them in an airtight container. They’ll last:
- At room temperature for up to a week
- In the fridge for up to two weeks
- In the freezer for up to three months
Just take a few out and thaw them before giving them to your pup!
🌿 Customization Tips:
- Additions for extra nutrition: Try adding flaxseeds or chia seeds for a fiber and omega-3 boost.
- Substitute the fruit: If raspberries aren’t available, you can use blueberries, strawberries, or even mashed banana.
- Grain-free option: Replace oat flour with coconut flour if your dog needs a grain-free diet (adjust the amount as coconut flour absorbs more moisture).

❗ Feeding Tips and Safety:
While these treats are made with healthy, dog-safe ingredients, they should be given in moderation. Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily caloric intake. Also, monitor your dog for any allergies, especially if this is their first time eating raspberries.

These raspberry dog treats offer a combination of sweet, fruity flavor and crunch. They’re not only tasty but also packed with nutrients that promote a healthy, happy pup. Whether you’re rewarding good behavior or just showing love, these homemade snacks are a great alternative to store-bought options.
