FAQs
Is honey safe for dogs?
Yes, in small amounts honey is safe and adds natural sweetness, but it should be given in moderation due to its sugar content.
Can I use regular flour instead of coconut flour?
Coconut flour behaves differently than regular flour and absorbs more liquid, so it’s best to stick with coconut flour for this recipe to achieve the right texture.
