If you haven’t heard yet, my rescue pup Chewie (pomeranian) has been coughing a lot and has been tentatively diagnosed with Tracheal collapse. His cough suppressant (butraphanol) doesn’t seem to be doing a good job. We will be talking to his vet again tomorrow. If anyone has any pointers for natural remedies to help ease his coughing and dealing with the collapsed trachea, please do write to me on the post, email or on any of my social media.

Oh Richa I am so sorry to hear about Chewie, I quickly glanced at a FB post but wasn’t sure what had happened, sending tons of positive vibes to you and your Chewie!

These look great! I can’t resist muffins of any kind and also love coconut in everything 🙂
I know right. there was a time when i didnt really care much for coconut. coconut in different forms has been growing on me!
is there anything more delicious than pumpkin AND coconut?! i don’t think so… except for maybe peanut butter and chocolate.
poor chewie! i hope he starts getting better soon! keep us updated.
nope there isnt, atleast for fall 😉
i hope so too. he is on higher dose of cough meds and probably will go through few days of antibiotics. lets see
Omg!! I just loved your recipe! Thank you so much for sharing..
Thanks!
Have never tried pumpkin muffins, honestly. And pumpkin with coconut is even more intriguing! Must try soon 🙂
you definitely should!
Hi Richa. Thanks for your wonderful website. I just made these and they are delicious, nice texture and I enjoyed the contrasting chewiness of the coconut shreds. I used half of a sweetener made from steviol glycosides and Erythritrol and half of a very dark molasses type sugar, plus a few sultanas. I will cut back the amount of sugar next try as they were slightly too sweet for me (the substitute sweetener may be sweeter than regular sugar).
awesome! with the raw sugar, these are actually not super sweet. sweeteners can be tricky with conversion. glad you liked them 🙂
No problem 🙂 looking forward to making them!
Question – your recipe instructions say add flax meal, but the ingredients don’t list flax meal or how much. Thanks!
1 Tbsp.. added it in the recipe. thanks for catching that. 🙂
