Ingredients
  

  • 2 6-ounce cans wild caught Alaskan salmon in water (no salt added, boneless, skinless)
  • 1 6-ounce carton blueberries (¼ cup purée)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp organic ghee
  • 1½ cups organic buckwheat flour
  • ⅛ cup organic turmeric
  • 1 tsp organic cinnamon
  • pinch black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Drain the two cans of salmon, and add to a medium bowl. Use a fork to break apart the chunks of salmon.
  • Purée the carton of blueberries in a blender or mash them with a fork, and add to the medium bowl with salmon.
  • Add the olive oil and ghee and thoroughly mix together with the salmon and blueberry purée.
  • In a small bowl, mix the buckwheat flour, turmeric, cinnamon and black pepper together.
  • Add the bowl of dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients, and thoroughly combine with a spoon.
  • Dust your hands with buckwheat flour, and knead the mixture into a dough ball.
  • Place the dough ball on parchment paper on the countertop. Place another strip of parchment paper on top of the dough ball.
  • Roll the dough ball flat with a rolling pin about an ⅛ to ¼ inch thick.
  • Dip cookie cutters of choice in all purpose flour, and cut the dough into desired shapes.
  • Place the shapes on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, turn the shapes over, and bake for another 7 minutes.
  • Take out of the oven, and place on a cooling rack to thoroughly cool before storing.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or the freezer for up to a month.

Notes

  • The curcumin in turmeric doesn’t absorb well into the body on its own. It needs to be mixed with a healthy fat or a pinch of black pepper. 
  • I like to use Ceylon cinnamon in dog treats and here’s why. However, for these treats I was unable to find it, so I opted for organic cinnamon.
  • You don’t have to use organic products.
