Grain-Free Blueberry and Banana Dog Cookies (2024)

I don't think I have ever seen coconut flour before or maybe just never noticed. Can I buy them in any grocery store?
Thanks for sharing!

elsie...i found coconut flour and coconut oil at a health food store.

Trader Joe's has all this kind of stuff

TY Gwen :)

Ladies I found coconut flour at Walmart by baking items. Good luck

Ocean State Job Lot has Coconut flour

Albertsons and HEB has special flours, so does Sprouts

Costco has both coconut oil and coconut flour. My Daisy is allergic to chicken, beef, wheat, milk, soy and yeast so I HAVE to make her treats. The ones I currently make are a combination of brown rice, coconut and almond flour,coconut oil, eggs, turkey broth and flax seed meal for the omegas. I'm definitely going to have to try these

I found coconut flour at BJ's Wholesale Club.

my local grocery store has a small section of gluten free products, the coconut oil should be with the oils. I put a teaspoon of oil in my girls food everyday very good for them and they love it.I think I might have heard it keeps fleas and ticks away. my bassets have not had any in over a year. a lot better than the poison in frontline, etc.

My babies never have fleas as long as I put coconut oil on them .I refused to ever put that poison o. Them .They never got fleas.Fleas hate coconut oil.Frontline is bad.I put it on my Boston terrier and she was foaming at the mouth.

Bob's Red Mill brand is generally sold in health food stores and some grocery stores but can be ordered online as well.

Elsie, you should be able to find Coconut Flour at your favorite grocery store. If it is not with "baking goods", ie., flour, sugar, baking soda, etc., then check the "organic" section, if your store has one. You really should be able to find Coconut Flour, and even Rice Flour, which would also work with any recipe.

I found coconut flour at Sam's Club for a VERY reasonable price!

bought mine at BJ's Wholesale Club

I found it in shop rite!

It's everywhere nowadays. Any chain should have it. I bought mine at SAMs but have seen it at Walmart too.

Bob's Red Mill has it....so if a store cries Bob's you could always ask them to order it

Wal-Mart, health area

Walmart has Gluten Free Coconut flour. These cookies are so good I ate one!! yummy.

We bought Organic Coconut Flour at BJ's

You can buy it organic at BJ's.

many health food stores carry coconut flour and Whole Foods Market carries coconut flour and other alternative flours

You can purchase coconut flour at Sprouts or Whole Foods or Central Market or any natural food stores but regular food stores sometimes have it too.

I recently purchased Coconut flour at B-Js warehouse 36oz $7.00 made by better body foods.

Hey, I get coconut flour all the time from Woolies ! It's usually in the health food area, close to the floor ... AND THE DOGS LOVED THESE TREATS ! I made little cookies, as well as finger-sized rolls .... but found I needed to DOUBLE the flour content to make a reasonable, workable dough. My kids loved them too !

Ocean State Job Lot has Coconut Flour as well as coconut oil and other organic foods 😄

Yes you can get it in the baking aisle right at Walmart

I found it at Walmart

You can buy cocnu*t flour at any store.It is usually with the flour.So.etimes I rinse regular coconut and grind it up too.Coconut flour can be pricey.

Made the and the pups love them. Saved about $10.00 by making these.

My poor GSD is allergic to eggs, peanut butter, peas, corn, potatos poultry, fish, kelp, brewers yeast, but he loves pumpkin. Any ideas?

You are awesome, thanks! He has 22 allergies in all. We picked him up from a very good breeder at six weeks. My fault, I didn’t want to wait. I think if I had known better of the new thoughts on waiting until eight weeks he would not have this problem. An extra two weeks nursing with his family may have made all the difference.

The intro to this recipe says "Made with grain and gluten free coconut oil for skin and coat health", but I don't see coconut oil in the recipe. Am I missing something?

I just made pumpkin dog cookies and my dogs love them.

If your dog is allergic to all of the above, chances are he is allergic to wheat.

I make treats with rice flour, canned pumpkin (not pie mix, puree), coconut oil, blueberries and some water. I use eggs but you can omit. My doxies eat them up!

Is there coconut oil in this recipe or just coconut flour?

All I see in the intro and recipe is coconut flour..I don't see oil anywhere.

The only time oil is mentioned is that the flour AND oil were found at a health food store.

can I use rice flour too?

This recipe sounds good enough for a human to eat...GOM..GOM.... Oh, heres one for the pup too....:)

I just made these this morning, they smell great, my dogs went crazy for them ... I had to taste them, and they are good!

My dogs (and I!) are loving the dog treat recipes! I am so happy to be able to safely give them treats, and grain-free helps so much for their allergies! I am wondering though, if the treats should be stored at room temperature, or in the 'fridge? I made the ones with peanut butter, pumpkin, eggs, coconut flour, etc., and they ate every CRUMB! Thank you!

I found that the storage in the fridge works best. I made a batch of the peanut butter - sweet potato cookies one time and after 4 days they started to mold - so i had to throw them out. I should have known better.

Do these need to be refrigerated? How long will they last?

The intro to this recipe says that these are made with coconut oil, but I don't see coconut oil in the recipe. Am I missing something?

I see a lot of comments about wether the treats can be left out in a dog cookie jar or need to be refrigerated. What is the best storage method so they don't go bad, and do they need to be consumed in a short period of time before they spoil or are they like people cookies that will last a week or two?

I refrigerate in ziploc bag and transfer some to treat jar every few days

Is there anything you can substitute for the egg? Egg tends to be an irritant and a gas producer in my dog so I avoid it as much as I can.

flaxseed meal is a very common egg substitute! Directions for use as an egg sub will even be on the bag. Just mix with a little warm water and let sit for a minute.

On another recipe I looked at said you could use applesauce in place of eggs. Going to try it and see if it works with this recipe

Absolutely love these healthy treats recipes- my GSD puppy, Athena, loves the cookies even more! I baked the PB+sweet potato+carrot treats and the blueberry banana ones as well. I stored a few of them in the fridge and threw the rest into the freezer. Athena enjoys them frozen too - it keeps things interesting plus it's soothing for her gums since she's still teething.

Where can I get the dog bone shaped molds ?

Thanks for the tip. I have a number of different cookie cutters including various sized bones, but now i need to go check these out :-)

I've made these twice for my girl now. She's CRAZY for them! The coconut flour took me a while to find but it was worth it. This is a GREAT recipe.

Just made them, and my two dogs loved them! Will be baking them treats from now on, thank you for the amazing recipe

To those who have been asking about the storage time....I've kept mine in a cookie jar, but they will go bad quickly (no preservatives-remember). I usually keep about a week's worth in his jar and the rest in the freezer (although mine eats his straight from the freezer with no problem either). I've only had one batch that went moldy on me after 2 weeks, but that was my fault-I made a double batch and didn't freeze ANY of them....Lesson learned. My boy LOVES LOVES LOVES all these treats...

Thank you for posting storage info, Kathy. I posted asking about it, then was scrolling and found your post.
I want to mail some to a friend, so was wondering if they'd be okay to ship or if I'd have to include an ice pack. Sounds like if I baked today, and ship priority tomorrow, they should be ok when received at the other end.

Could I use pumpkin instead of the peanut butter? or almond butter?

Hi :-) I live in Denmark and I would really love to give my gsd a treat and bake some cookies for him. But I'm not sure I know how much "a cup" is. Really hope you can help me :-)
And thanks for all the nice recipes!

250 ml

A cup is 8 ounces

I don't have fresh blueberries, can I use dried?

If you don't have fresh blueberries use frozen.

Can a different flour be subistute for coconut?

you can use almond flour or brown rice flour. I actually use a blend of all three in the cookies I make for my highly allergic GSD right now.

can I use white rice flour for the cookies

Fran...I don't see why you couldn't use white rice flour. I use brown for the added nutrients. Coconut flour and rice or almond flour absorb liquid differently so you may need to experiment a bit to get it just right.

I used a flax eggs and they turned out great... Love this site...

Does anyone know where I can get coconut flour in New Zealand? Thanks

My pup is diabetic so he couldn't eat these, do you have any diabetic friendly recipes?

I use 2 jars of baby food (4oz) with one cup oats, one cup whole wheat flour (or your flour of choice) about two heaping tablespoons flax seed meal, about 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional) mix together, roll out and use dog bone cookie cutter. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Turn oven off. Leave cookies in oven until oven completely cools or overnight. Store in paper bag. In place of baby food you can use a half can of pumpkin. I use sweet potatoes, applesauce, pears, peaches, carrots, squash, etc of baby food. My Lab loves these. He is not fond of peanut butter.

Hi-- I have tried a few of the recipes on this site and my batter always comes out very runny... I follow the directions and measurements, except I cut out one egg on this recipe to see if it would help. I have tried refrigerating it to see if I would be able to roll it to make shapes but so far I can only do drop cookies of very runny dough... Any suggestions?

Heather, I just learned that coconut flour normally soaks up more moisture than other flours, so it's weird that yours is coming out runny. I would think you could just add more flour until you get the right consistancy ... that's what I always do if roll out dough is too sticky, or not a good consistancy for rolling.

Hi Denise,
My also came out runny, so I add a little extra coconut flour, but still was runny :( don't know why?

Wennie, I posted a rely under your other comment. Just keep adding a small amount of flour at a time under you get a consistency you can roll out. I think if using very ripe bananas, you migt be able to reduce the amount of water.

I've wondered the same thing about using almond butter or other almond products in dog recipes.

I made the cookies and my dogs loved them but when I used a cookie cutter in fun shapes, when cooking they went to round balls :(. What's the secret?

I made them the first time today, used a dog bone shaped cutter and they turned out looking like bones. I haven't tried other shapes yet.

I tried making this twice and both times, I was unable to roll the dough out because it was to wet and sticky (followed the recipe to a "t"). Haven't baked with coconut flour before and didn't now if this is normal or what I could possibly be doing wrong. Any suggestions?

Lynn, I just made them for the firt time toay. I noticed the dough was a little sticky, so just added a little more coconut flour. Also rolled out on a floured, marble rolling board with a floured marble rolling pin. I did have to flour the cookie cutter, as well as clean it off due to dough sticking to it.

If I bake the cookies and the use a dehydrator will it make the cookies last longer if they are left out of the fridge.

Hello, I just made this treat for my dogs. I have a question that after I combined everything in a large bowl, and mixed them altogether, why it didn't look and feel like a dough? It looked like a purée? Was I do something wrong? Was it supposed to be like purée not the dough? I am new in the baking world and it was my second time bake dog treating my life. Thank you.

Wennie, I think even something like the size and ripeness of your bananas could make a difference. I just kept adding flour (a small amount at a time) until the dough is a consitency that can be rolled. Another option would be to add less water.

I love your website! Thank you for all the wonderful recipes! My Beagle pup is going to love em! One question though, can the coconut flour be substituted with brown rice flour? Or if both used what is the best ratio?
