Would you believe me if I told you that you could make Blueberry Banana Pie Dog Treats with four healthy ingredients? Well, you can!
At the beginning of every year, I always try to reset my eating habits. I generally indulge in lots of holiday goodies between November and December. As I am resetting my eating habits, National Pie Day also occurs in January each year. So I might not be indulging in any pie this year, but my dogs will be with these healthy Blueberry Banana Pie Dog Treats.

My Blueberry Banana Pie Dog Treats were gobbled down pretty quickly by my pups. But, I also think they would even make an excellent treat for celebrating your dog’s birthday!
Little did I know that people like baking pie dog treats. Around Thanksgiving, my Peanut Butter Banana Pie Dog Treats became a top search on Google and Pinterest! So I thought, why not create a new and yummy variation.
Like all of my other recipes, these Blueberry Banana Pie Dog Treats are dairy, wheat, and egg-free. So if you’re pup has allergies or food sensitivities, then this treat recipe might be a perfect match for them.
Blueberry Banana Pie Dog Treat Health Benefits
- Banana Health Benefits: Low-calorie, high in biotin, potassium, and fiber.
- Blueberry Health Benefits: Low-calorie, they contain antioxidants, Vitamins C and K, fiber, and their nutrients support the immune system.

What you’ll need for this recipe…

minutesPie Crust Ingredients
3/4 Cup of Old Fashioned Oats
1/4 Cup of Unsweetened Applesauce
- Pie Filling Ingredients
2/3 Cups Frozen Blueberries
One medium ripe banana (frozen – this gives a creamier consistency.)
Optional: A few ice cubes and a splash of cold water
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 F. Prepare four muffin liners or use silicone muffin liners.
- Blend the unsweetened applesauce and oats in a food processor. You will have a slightly sticky dough.
- Using an ice cream scoop or spoon; scoop equal amounts of dough into 4 muffin liners. Then use the back of the ice cream scoop to create an indent in the center. This will creat a pie-shell that your filling can sit in. See the photo below as an example. (I formed the sides with my fingers so that the dough was evenly distributed.)
- Bake your crusts for 15 minutes until they are golden brown. You will want to let them cool completely before removing them from their liners and adding the filling.
- Make the filling: Blend your frozen-peeled banana and frozen blueberries on high until you achieve a smooth-creamy purée. Add a few ice cubes and a splash of cold water to achieve a smooth consistency if needed. Spoon a tablespoon of blueberry banana purée into a pie-shell and serve immediately. Refrigerate left over purée separately for two days if any is leftover.
Notes
- This is a treat and not meant to be fed on a regular basis. Please consult your vet before introducing any homemade treats into your dogs diet.
- I recommend breaking the pies up into bite size pieces in your dogs food bowl.
- These treats do not store well. I tested the pie recipe by using only half of the ingredients and it created four perfect pie crusts. So this recipe can easily be cut in half. You can store the empty pie crusts in the fridge for up to one week in the fridge. Fill the stored pie crusts with fresh filling when you’re ready to feed your dog another pie treat.
