I don't think I have ever seen coconut flour before or maybe just never noticed. Can I buy them in any grocery store?
Thanks for sharing!

Costco has both coconut oil and coconut flour. My Daisy is allergic to chicken, beef, wheat, milk, soy and yeast so I HAVE to make her treats. The ones I currently make are a combination of brown rice, coconut and almond flour,coconut oil, eggs, turkey broth and flax seed meal for the omegas. I'm definitely going to have to try these

my local grocery store has a small section of gluten free products, the coconut oil should be with the oils. I put a teaspoon of oil in my girls food everyday very good for them and they love it.I think I might have heard it keeps fleas and ticks away. my bassets have not had any in over a year. a lot better than the poison in frontline, etc.

My babies never have fleas as long as I put coconut oil on them .I refused to ever put that poison o. Them .They never got fleas.Fleas hate coconut oil.Frontline is bad.I put it on my Boston terrier and she was foaming at the mouth.

Bob's Red Mill brand is generally sold in health food stores and some grocery stores but can be ordered online as well.

Elsie, you should be able to find Coconut Flour at your favorite grocery store. If it is not with "baking goods", ie., flour, sugar, baking soda, etc., then check the "organic" section, if your store has one. You really should be able to find Coconut Flour, and even Rice Flour, which would also work with any recipe.

Hey, I get coconut flour all the time from Woolies ! It's usually in the health food area, close to the floor ... AND THE DOGS LOVED THESE TREATS ! I made little cookies, as well as finger-sized rolls .... but found I needed to DOUBLE the flour content to make a reasonable, workable dough. My kids loved them too !

My poor GSD is allergic to eggs, peanut butter, peas, corn, potatos poultry, fish, kelp, brewers yeast, but he loves pumpkin. Any ideas?

Ap Fg

Pumpkin Puurfection

• One 15 oz. can mashed pure pumpkin (NOT the spiced pie filling)
• 3/4 cup cream of wheat (or rice cereal if wheat-sensitive) or ¾ cups rolled oats
• 1/2 cup dry powdered milk
You can mix the cream of wheat dry; no need to cook it first.
Bake at 300 degrees F for 15-20 minutes.
Hope your GSD enjoys these simple cookies

Madiline

3/15/2013 11:13:19 am

You are awesome, thanks! He has 22 allergies in all. We picked him up from a very good breeder at six weeks. My fault, I didn’t want to wait. I think if I had known better of the new thoughts on waiting until eight weeks he would not have this problem. An extra two weeks nursing with his family may have made all the difference.

If your dog is allergic to all of the above, chances are he is allergic to wheat.

My dogs (and I!) are loving the dog treat recipes! I am so happy to be able to safely give them treats, and grain-free helps so much for their allergies! I am wondering though, if the treats should be stored at room temperature, or in the 'fridge? I made the ones with peanut butter, pumpkin, eggs, coconut flour, etc., and they ate every CRUMB! Thank you!

Wendy

5/21/2013 10:16:05 pm

I found that the storage in the fridge works best. I made a batch of the peanut butter - sweet potato cookies one time and after 4 days they started to mold - so i had to throw them out. I should have known better.

Debbie J

Christine

4/6/2013 03:17:04 am

I see a lot of comments about wether the treats can be left out in a dog cookie jar or need to be refrigerated. What is the best storage method so they don't go bad, and do they need to be consumed in a short period of time before they spoil or are they like people cookies that will last a week or two?

debbie

1/13/2015 03:26:15 am

I refrigerate in ziploc bag and transfer some to treat jar every few days

Mandi

5/18/2013 03:01:14 pm

Is there anything you can substitute for the egg? Egg tends to be an irritant and a gas producer in my dog so I avoid it as much as I can.

Dog mom

4/2/2015 05:52:03 pm

flaxseed meal is a very common egg substitute! Directions for use as an egg sub will even be on the bag. Just mix with a little warm water and let sit for a minute.

Tabi

11/21/2015 10:01:21 pm

On another recipe I looked at said you could use applesauce in place of eggs. Going to try it and see if it works with this recipe

Elena Pia Rodriguez

Absolutely love these healthy treats recipes- my GSD puppy, Athena, loves the cookies even more! I baked the PB+sweet potato+carrot treats and the blueberry banana ones as well. I stored a few of them in the fridge and threw the rest into the freezer. Athena enjoys them frozen too - it keeps things interesting plus it's soothing for her gums since she's still teething.

8/19/2013 07:24:12 am

To those who have been asking about the storage time....I've kept mine in a cookie jar, but they will go bad quickly (no preservatives-remember). I usually keep about a week's worth in his jar and the rest in the freezer (although mine eats his straight from the freezer with no problem either). I've only had one batch that went moldy on me after 2 weeks, but that was my fault-I made a double batch and didn't freeze ANY of them....Lesson learned. My boy LOVES LOVES LOVES all these treats...

Denise

5/17/2015 06:12:33 am

Thank you for posting storage info, Kathy. I posted asking about it, then was scrolling and found your post.
I want to mail some to a friend, so was wondering if they'd be okay to ship or if I'd have to include an ice pack. Sounds like if I baked today, and ship priority tomorrow, they should be ok when received at the other end.

Can a different flour be subistute for coconut?

Kathie

1/14/2015 02:00:51 pm

you can use almond flour or brown rice flour. I actually use a blend of all three in the cookies I make for my highly allergic GSD right now.

Fran Crawford

1/26/2017 08:53:30 pm

can I use white rice flour for the cookies

Kathie

1/27/2017 12:23:09 am

Fran...I don't see why you couldn't use white rice flour. I use brown for the added nutrients. Coconut flour and rice or almond flour absorb liquid differently so you may need to experiment a bit to get it just right.

My pup is diabetic so he couldn't eat these, do you have any diabetic friendly recipes?

Christa

2/13/2015 10:49:23 am

I use 2 jars of baby food (4oz) with one cup oats, one cup whole wheat flour (or your flour of choice) about two heaping tablespoons flax seed meal, about 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional) mix together, roll out and use dog bone cookie cutter. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Turn oven off. Leave cookies in oven until oven completely cools or overnight. Store in paper bag. In place of baby food you can use a half can of pumpkin. I use sweet potatoes, applesauce, pears, peaches, carrots, squash, etc of baby food. My Lab loves these. He is not fond of peanut butter.

Heather

2/14/2015 09:41:22 am

Hi-- I have tried a few of the recipes on this site and my batter always comes out very runny... I follow the directions and measurements, except I cut out one egg on this recipe to see if it would help. I have tried refrigerating it to see if I would be able to roll it to make shapes but so far I can only do drop cookies of very runny dough... Any suggestions?

Denise

5/17/2015 06:08:25 am

Heather, I just learned that coconut flour normally soaks up more moisture than other flours, so it's weird that yours is coming out runny. I would think you could just add more flour until you get the right consistancy ... that's what I always do if roll out dough is too sticky, or not a good consistancy for rolling.

Wennie

9/17/2015 03:34:18 pm

Hi Denise,
My also came out runny, so I add a little extra coconut flour, but still was runny :( don't know why?

Denise

9/17/2015 04:14:40 pm

Wennie, I posted a rely under your other comment. Just keep adding a small amount of flour at a time under you get a consistency you can roll out. I think if using very ripe bananas, you migt be able to reduce the amount of water.

Sherry

3/17/2015 10:02:56 am

Hello,

I have just found your blog and am loving it! Greetings from a fellow Ontarian! Just down the road near London.

Question: Can I substitute almond butter for peanut butter? We have a peanut allergy in the house, but almond butter is okay. Is it okay for our GSD?

Thanks!

Denise

5/17/2015 06:06:31 am

I've wondered the same thing about using almond butter or other almond products in dog recipes.

Jessica

4/5/2015 07:58:48 am

I made the cookies and my dogs loved them but when I used a cookie cutter in fun shapes, when cooking they went to round balls :(. What's the secret?

Denise

5/17/2015 06:05:14 am

I made them the first time today, used a dog bone shaped cutter and they turned out looking like bones. I haven't tried other shapes yet.

Lynn link

4/7/2015 10:46:47 am

I tried making this twice and both times, I was unable to roll the dough out because it was to wet and sticky (followed the recipe to a "t"). Haven't baked with coconut flour before and didn't now if this is normal or what I could possibly be doing wrong. Any suggestions?

Denise

5/17/2015 06:04:19 am

Lynn, I just made them for the firt time toay. I noticed the dough was a little sticky, so just added a little more coconut flour. Also rolled out on a floured, marble rolling board with a floured marble rolling pin. I did have to flour the cookie cutter, as well as clean it off due to dough sticking to it.

Denise

5/17/2015 06:02:28 am

I finally got around to making these today. My dogs went crazy over them ... ended up using them to work on practicing old tricks, and teaching new ones when my dogs were so excited to get them :-)

Question: should they be refigerated, or will they be ok stored at room temperature? I'd also like to mail some to a friend and wondering if I'd need to include an ice pack. I do have a foodsaver, so can prep in airtight packaging for shipping.

Jodi

6/22/2015 07:08:12 pm

If I bake the cookies and the use a dehydrator will it make the cookies last longer if they are left out of the fridge.

Wennie

9/17/2015 03:30:05 pm

Hello, I just made this treat for my dogs. I have a question that after I combined everything in a large bowl, and mixed them altogether, why it didn't look and feel like a dough? It looked like a purée? Was I do something wrong? Was it supposed to be like purée not the dough? I am new in the baking world and it was my second time bake dog treating my life. Thank you.

Denise

9/17/2015 04:09:58 pm

Wennie, I think even something like the size and ripeness of your bananas could make a difference. I just kept adding flour (a small amount at a time) until the dough is a consitency that can be rolled. Another option would be to add less water.

Kay

10/28/2015 06:26:51 am

I love your website! Thank you for all the wonderful recipes! My Beagle pup is going to love em! One question though, can the coconut flour be substituted with brown rice flour? Or if both used what is the best ratio?

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga.
