FAQ

1. Can I use fresh pineapple instead of dried?

Fresh pineapple is too moist for this recipe, but you can dehydrate it first or use canned pineapple (drained and patted dry).

2. How do I make these keto-friendly?

Replace honey with a sugar-free syrup and use unsweetened shredded coconut.

3. Can I toast the coconut for more flavor?

Yes! Toasting the coconut in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes adds a richer, nutty taste.

4. Are these gluten-free?

Yes, as long as you use almond flour instead of graham crackers.

5. Can I make them without a food processor?

Yes! Just chop everything finely and mix by hand.
