I enjoy cooking but I also enjoy my time with my little doggie Ginger. She’s a bit of a picky eater because she is super spoiled! I still wanted to share with you some Banana Biscuit Dog Treats I made.
It’s a whole lot of fun making goodies for your dog and even the neighbor’s dog. Remember to always consult with the owner first as some doggies just like humans have allergies and certain dietary needs.
Duke, our neighbor’s dog, really enjoyed these treats as you can see below. My dog, Ginger, was a bit more picky about eating them.
Just like humans, dogs have just as much personality and soul as we do. They are special creatures that become our companions without judgement.
Even though I know there is times when she gives me a funny look like “what in the heck are you doing?”. Maybe it’s just me 😉
Hoping that you all enjoy these dog treats for your pooches. I have been thinking about making a few more of these recipes.
If you interested let me know in the comments. Maybe there is something specific your looking for? Bananas, peanut butter, yogurt frozen treats? The sky is the limit!
You can make these treats in any shape you want. That’s all up to you. I used heart but as you can see above you can do paws or bone shapes.
Whatever you fancy or what you think your dog would fancy.
A French or regular roll pin with work with these Banana Biscuit Dogs treats. Either way they will help roll out the dough.
Additionally, you can also use a cold wine bottle if you don’t have a rolling pin. They make for great make shift rolling pins in a jiffy.
We hope your pooch loves these as much as Duke did! The recipe is just below or save it for later by pinning it.
Banana Biscuit Dog Treats
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup flour plus extra flour
- 4 oz container banana baby food (or use any flavor you like)
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 large egg, beaten
- optional peanut butter for frosting 1.5 ounce container creamy peanut butter melted (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine banana flavored baby food, honey, flour, and old fashioned oats. Use a mixing spatula to combine all the ingredients together. Using the extra flour you have reserved lightly flour a flat work area. Place the dough on the lightly floured surface and knead dough together.
- Roll dough to a thickness of about 1/4 to 1/2-inch, using a lightly floured rolling pin. Use desired cookie cutters to cut out shapes, dip cookie cutters into the flour before cutting out the desired shapes. Use similar sized shapes to ensure even baking.
- Place cutouts on the baking sheet and brush the tops of each treat with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 25 minutes until doggie biscuits are golden brown. Remove the treats from the oven and let cool. Melt the peanut butter for 30 seconds in the microwave. Stir the melted peanut and drizzle onto each treat.
6. Serve to your favorite doggie!

ELLE says
Just finished making these and the yield is insanely fabulous. I doubled it & got almost 200, 1/2 teaspoon servings. I did have to add a scant amount of water to make the dough pliable to roll. This is a great one. The treats are soft-ish and you can leave them in the oven after turning off, to crisp up. The treats remain pliable to snap into smaller pieces which makes this recipe even more versatile. Love love LOVE this one and thank you very much for sharing with us. Still relevant in 2022 girl!

These look so easy to make. I have two dogs and have never tried making their treats. I may give this a go.
Blair Villanueva says
Wow such a lucky pup! I wish I have time to bake treats for our pups, but luckily they are trained to be not (too) spoiled, by my Mom. But Moms buy they more biscuits than us, huhu.
Kim Seghers says
Hi Blair! Yep my doggie is very spoiled!! My husband spoils her. I wish she wasn’t so spoiled. Glad your mom spoils your pups! Have a lovely week, Kim
Kara says
My dog would love these and they are so much more cost effective than buying those fancy dog treats at the dog boutique!
Kim Seghers says
Hi Kara! Yes it’s so much cheaper then the treats at the dog boutiques. Most of the stuff you need to make dog treat you probably already have at home. You could even use fresh bananas. Have a great week, Kim
