Hi, y’all!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed my last post. Making that chocolate banana avocado pudding was super fun – but eating it was even better!
I actually made another recipe yesterday before I made the chocolate pudding. As you can tell from the title of this post, I made “Happy Hemp Honey Holes” and it was off the top of my head! LOL
I’ve been wanting to come up with a super fun recipe using….
the raw, wild, unprocessed honey Tropical Traditions sent me.
Raw honey is solid.
Add 1/4 cup of freshly ground flax.
Check out the organic coconut flour!
In goes two tablespoons of the coconut flour.
Melt a tablespoon of raw honey…
Add the melted raw honey.
A tablespoon of Tropical Traditions coconut cream concentrate…
a tablespoon of hemp protein powder
After the hemp powder, the dough was too dry, so I added a tablespoon of peanut butter (didn’t have any almond butter).
Lots better!
Mix it all up (I stirred it by hand) and form the dough into a ball.
It was a little too moist, so I sprinkled coconut flour on my hands and played with the dough a little – that worked!
Then, I pulled small sections off and made six balls (aka holes).
I love the “sheen” from the honey and coconut cream concentrate. They look too moist, but they weren’t. They were perfect!
Up close…
The nutty flavors of the flax and hemp were a nice touch. The peanut butter flavor was really good. I was a little worried when I was experimenting on this because I wasn’t sure it would turn out edible – but it was actually yumilicicous!
And… the recipe:
Happy Hemp Honey Holes
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup freshly ground flax
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut cream concentrate
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon hemp powder
Directions:
- Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix them (I just stirred with a spoon).
- Pull small pieces of dough off.
- Roll dough into little balls (aka holes).
- Pop in the fridge, freezer, or even dehydrator if you like – I just popped one in my mouth right away!
Enjoy!

Those holes look good! I had some raw honey on my oatmeal this morning. It is interesting how it is solid at room temp, but not crystalized – then it melted into the oats. Yummy!

Hey, Berni!
Raw honey is fantabulous – seriously!
Can’t wait to read about your coconut/raw honey adventures!

Yum!
We recently got our bottle of the coconut vinegar but haven’t used it yet. My hubby sampled and said it was alright. We’ll have to make something with it to see how it is. I’ve have the concentrate and that’s good stuff! And the flour I haven’t used but have been meaning to. I love coconut anything so in my book where can you go wrong?!

Hi, Heidi!
I haven’t tried the coconut vinegar either but I will soon – brainstorming for ideas!
I feel the same way – I’m a HUGE coconut fan!!!

looks yummy! i want to come over and have one right now.
i have seen honey marketed as “raw” but it’s not solid. can it vary? I never buy honey but i was just wondering if it was false advertising.

Thanks, Bitt!
Hmmm… You know, that’s a fantabulous question. I’m working on the honey review post, so I’ll be sure to research that and see what I can find out. You’ve piqued my curiosity!

Hey, C!
Yeah, it’s awesomeness for sure!
Hmmm… the coconut cream concentrate is different than the coconut butter, I think. Seems um creamier/sweeter to me.
It IS amazing!!

That’s okay!
Thanks. I’m glad you like ‘em! I never quite understood the controversy over honey. I don’t eat a lot of it anyway, but I just decided not to call myself vegan – besides, I let eggs back into my diet. Can’t be a vegan and eat eggs!
And… LOL
