Benefits of Banana and Honey Biscuits

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

• Nutrient-Rich: Bananas provide essential vitamins (like B6 and C) and are a great source of fiber.
• Natural Energy Boost: Honey is a fantastic natural energy source for active pups, offering a quick pick-me-up without the crash.
• Dental Health: The crunchy texture helps clean your dog’s teeth as they chew.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Biscuits:

• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 ½ cups rolled oats
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Tools Required:

• Mixing bowl
• Rolling pin
• Cookie cutters (optional, but fun for making shapes)
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper

How to Make Banana and Honey Biscuits for Dogs

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana and honey. Add in the oats, flour, and cinnamon. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it reaches a workable consistency.

Step 3: Roll Out the Dough

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to create fun shapes, or simply cut the dough into small squares with a knife.

Step 4: Bake

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. For extra crunch, turn off the oven and leave the biscuits inside to cool slowly.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Allow the biscuits to cool completely before serving them to your dog. Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

What to Serve with These Biscuits

These biscuits are perfect on their own, but you can also serve them with a dollop of peanut butter or a spread of mashed banana for an extra treat. They also pair well with dog-safe fruits like apple slices or blueberries.

Tips for Making the Best Biscuits

• Go Organic: If possible, use organic ingredients to ensure that the treats are as healthy as possible.
• Customize: Feel free to swap the whole wheat flour for another type if your dog has a wheat allergy. Rice flour or almond flour are good alternatives.
• Portion Control: Cut the biscuits into smaller pieces for small dogs or puppies, and larger pieces for bigger dogs.

Storing Your Dog Biscuits

Store these biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge, where they’ll stay fresh for about a month. You can also freeze the biscuits for up to three months—just thaw them at room temperature before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use other sweeteners besides honey?

Yes! Maple syrup or unsweetened applesauce are great alternatives if your dog is sensitive to honey.

How many biscuits can I give my dog each day?

Treats should only make up about 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake. Depending on the size of your dog, one to three biscuits per day should be fine.

Can I add other ingredients to these biscuits?

Absolutely! Consider adding ingredients like grated carrots, pumpkin puree, or a spoonful of peanut butter to mix things up.
