A Warm Story Before We Bake
I made these bone biscuits for dogs on a quiet morning when my pup waited by the counter with so much hope in his eyes. The sweet smell of banana always gets his tail moving. This recipe feels special because the dough comes together softly, and it turns baking into a calm moment you share with your dog. Every time a warm biscuit comes out of the oven, he trots closer, like he already knows it was made just for him.

Ingredients for Bone Biscuits for Dogs
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Ripe banana, mashed | 1 |
| Honey | 2 tablespoons |
| Egg | 1 |
| Whole wheat flour | 1 ¾ cups |
| Oat flour (or finely ground oats) | ½ cup |

How to Make These Banana Honey Bone Biscuits for Dogs
- Preheat your oven
Set the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment to keep the biscuits from sticking. - Mash the banana
Use a fork to mash the banana until smooth. Tiny chunks are fine if your dog likes little pops of flavor. - Whisk the wet ingredients
Mix the egg, honey, and peanut butter if you choose to add it. The mixture should look smooth and smell sweet. - Combine wet and dry
Stir the mashed banana into the bowl. Add the whole wheat flour and oat flour a bit at a time. Add water only if the dough feels dry. - Form the dough
Knead gently for about one minute. The dough should feel soft and a little sticky but still easy to roll. - Roll and cut the biscuits
Roll the dough to about ¼ inch thick. Use a bone-shaped cutter to make the classic look many dog parents love. - Bake the biscuits
Bake for 20–25 minutes. Flip once at the halfway mark so both sides turn golden. - Cool completely
Let the biscuits cool on a wire rack. Cooling helps them firm up and gives a crisp bite most dogs enjoy.

FAQs About Bone Biscuits for Dogs
1. Can I use gluten-free flour instead of whole wheat flour?
Yes. Use oat flour or a dog-safe gluten-free blend. Add water slowly because gluten-free doughs can be drier.
2. Can dogs have honey every day?
Honey is safe for most adult dogs in small amounts. Puppies under one year should avoid honey.
3. How do I make the biscuits softer?
Reduce bake time by three minutes or add one tablespoon of applesauce.
4. How do I make them crunchier?
Bake five to seven minutes longer, watching the edges so they do not darken.
5. Can I skip the peanut butter?
Yes. The biscuits hold together well without it.
