Vegan Beet & Banana Heart Biscuits: The Sweet, Love-Filled Treat for Your Pup

I’m so happy to share this vegan beet and banana biscuit recipe because it lets me make a sweet, colorful treat for my dog using simple, plant based ingredients. These biscuits use beet puree, ripe banana, and oat flour, which are all dog safe when used the right way. I love that there are no animal products, no artificial flavors, and no unnecessary extras. The natural color from the beets makes these treats extra fun, especially when cut into heart shapes. This recipe is easy to follow and works well for everyday treats or special moments.

I started making these beet and banana biscuits when I wanted a homemade treat that felt a little special but was still simple and safe. My dog gets very excited when I bring out the mixing bowl, and I like knowing exactly what goes into each bite.

What makes this recipe stand out is the mix of sweet banana and earthy beet flavor. The biscuits bake up firm and easy to handle, which makes them great for sharing or storing. Since they are made with oat flour, they also work well for dogs who do better with gentle, simple grains.

Here are a few reasons I keep coming back to this recipe:

• Simple, plant based ingredients
• No animal products or artificial additives
• Easy to make with basic kitchen tools
• Fun color and shapes dogs love

Every dog is different, so please talk to your vet before adding new foods, especially if your dog has allergies or health issues. Beets should be given in moderation, and ingredient labels should always be checked for safety.

How to Make Vegan Beet & Banana Heart Biscuits

• Preheat the oven and get a baking sheet ready.
• Mix the beet puree and mashed banana until smooth.
• Slowly add the oat flour to form a dough.
• Roll out the dough on a clean surface.
• Cut the dough into heart shapes or any shape you like.
• Bake until the biscuits are firm.
• Let the treats cool fully before giving them to your dog.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked beet puree (peeled beets, steamed or boiled, then blended smooth)
• 1 ripe banana, mashed (about ½ cup)
• 2 cups oat flour (made by blending rolled oats)

Optional add ins (choose 1 or 2):

• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds (for an omega 3 boost)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line or lightly grease a baking sheet.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the beet puree and mashed banana until smooth and well mixed.
3. Add the oat flour a little at a time, stirring until a soft dough forms.
4. The dough should feel firm but not dry. If it feels sticky, add a small amount of oat flour. If it feels too dry, mix in a tiny bit of water.
5. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until it is evenly thick.
6. Cut the dough into heart shapes or other small shapes and place them on the baking sheet.
7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the biscuits feel firm to the touch.
8. Remove from the oven and let the treats cool completely before serving or storing.

Process Details

• The dough should be easy to roll and not crack around the edges.
• Thicker biscuits will be a little softer inside, while thinner ones bake up crunchier.
• A rolling pin and cookie cutters help keep shapes even and fun.
• Smaller shapes work best for training treats or small dogs.
• The biscuits are done when they feel firm and no longer soft in the center.

Tips for Success

• Always check ingredient labels to make sure there is no xylitol, onion, garlic, or added sugar.
• Use plain oats only to make oat flour, with no added flavors or sweeteners.
• Keep treat sizes small, especially for small dogs.
• These biscuits are treats, not full meals, so feed in moderation.
• If your dog has food sensitivities, talk to your vet before adding optional seeds.
• Stick to the ingredients and amounts listed and avoid making big changes without guidance.

Serving Ideas

• Break into small pieces for training rewards.
• Offer one or two as a special homemade treat.
• Use as a reward after walks or playtime.
• Share on birthdays or Gotcha Days.
• Adjust portions based on your dog’s size and daily diet.

Storage & Freezing

• Store the biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
• For longer storage, place them in a freezer safe container and freeze.
• Thaw frozen treats in the refrigerator before serving.
• Firmer biscuits usually keep their texture better than very soft ones.
• Throw away any treats that smell odd, look moldy, or feel sticky or slimy.

These vegan beet and banana heart biscuits are a simple way to show your dog a little extra love with homemade food. I enjoy knowing that each treat is made with care, simple ingredients, and safety in mind.

• Cut different shapes for fun without changing the recipe.
• Roll the dough slightly thicker or thinner to adjust texture.
• Share with dog friends only if their vets say it is safe.
• Watch your dog closely the first time they try a new treat.

Making treats at home is a small act of love that can mean a lot to your dog, and I hope this recipe brings happy tail wags to your kitchen.
