Benefits of Banana and Honey Biscuits for Dogs

These treats aren’t just tasty, they’re packed with health benefits:

Bananas are rich in fiber, potassium, and vitamin B6, helping with digestion and providing energy.
Honey is a natural source of antioxidants, promoting a healthy immune system.
Oats provide an excellent source of fiber, which is gentle on your dog’s stomach.

Ingredients for Banana and Honey Biscuits

Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

1 ripe banana, mashed
1 tablespoon honey
1 egg
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (optional, for extra moisture)

Tools You’ll Need

Mixing bowl
Fork or potato masher (for the banana)
Measuring cups and spoons
Rolling pin
Dog-shaped cookie cutter (or any fun shape you prefer!)
Baking sheet
Parchment paper

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mash the banana in a bowl until smooth. Add in the honey, egg, and applesauce (if using), and mix until well combined.
Add the flour and oats, stirring until a dough forms. If it’s too sticky, add a bit more flour.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Cut the biscuits into shapes using your cookie cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Cool completely before serving to your dog. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.

Substitutions and Additions

Gluten-free version: Swap the whole wheat flour for oat flour or a gluten-free alternative.
Peanut butter boost: Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted peanut butter for an extra flavor punch.
Coconut oil: Swap the applesauce for 1 tablespoon of coconut oil for additional healthy fats.

What to Serve with These Biscuits

These biscuits are perfect on their own but can be paired with a spoonful of plain yogurt for an extra special treat. For a fun twist, crumble one over your dog’s regular meal to make dinner time more exciting!

Tips for Perfect Biscuits Every Time

Ripe bananas work best, as they’re easier to mash and sweeter.
Don’t overbake the biscuits—they should be firm but not rock hard.
Customize the shape: Use any cookie cutter you like! Heart-shaped, bone-shaped, or even classic rounds will do the trick.

Storage Instructions

Once cooled, store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze them for up to three months. Your pup will still love them after they’ve been thawed!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use different flours?

Yes! You can swap out whole wheat flour for oat flour or another dog-safe alternative like coconut flour. Just note that the texture may change slightly.

Is honey safe for dogs?

Yes, honey is safe for most dogs in small quantities and offers natural antioxidants. However, if your dog has diabetes, it’s best to avoid added sugars like honey.

How many biscuits can I give my dog?

While these treats are made with healthy ingredients, it’s important to give them in moderation. One or two biscuits a day should be plenty, depending on the size of your dog.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes! You can substitute the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water) for a vegan version.
