Homemade Ding Dongs

April 17, 2016April 17, 2016 Melissa King 4 Comments

3 words for you. Homemade Ding Dongs. The other day in my Facebook group, a member posted a pic of some store bought Ding Dongs from Whole Foods. She asked if I could make a homemade version and I gladly accepted the challenge! I love the challenge of making copycat recipes. Just try my Gluten Free Samoas or my Grain Free Twix Bars for yourself. Unlike the store bought one, my version is free of refined sugar, gluten, eggs and dairy!

I got a little over-zealous and took the photograph before I added the chocolate coating. I will definitely make sure to add those instructions in the recipe though. I hope you enjoy these Homemade Ding Dongs as much as we did! The recipe is a little involved, but totally worth it.

Raspberry Coconut Mousse (Vegan)

Yum! Raspberry Coconut Mousse. Just because you are vegan, does not mean you need to give up desserts like mousse. This healthy mousse is sure to please.

This healthy mousse can be made in a matter of minutes and it’s rich in texture and taste. If you haven’t guessed by now, I just love the combo of raspberry and coconut.

If you love this combo as well, you may want to check out my Raspberry Coconut Muffins or my Raspberry Coconut Smoothie. If you don’t want to use raspberries, you can always replace them with strawberries or any other fruit.

This heavenly raspberry coconut mousse is vegan, gluten free and paleo. It only calls for a few simple ingredients. Chocolate chips may be a nice addition as well.

I used fresh raspberries, but I am guessing you can use use frozen as well. Just let them thaw and drain before you use them in this recipe.

My husband is a HUGE mint fan, so I recently made these Flourless Peppermint Chocolate Cookies for him. They were a huge hit and they only take a few minutes to make. You may also like my flourless chocolate muffins or my flourless brownies.

These Flourless Peppermint Chocolate Cookies are vegan, gluten free and grain free. They only contain a handful of healthy ingredients!

Do you love Snickerdoodles? If so, you will love these kid friendly Snickerdoodle Pancakes! These pancakes aren’t just kid friendly, they come with a boost of protein and fiber thanks to a special ingredient.

The special ingredient in these healthy pancakes is chickpea flour. Chickpeas fall under the term pulses. Other foods in the pulse category are: lentils, beans and peas. Did you know that the UN declared 2016 the International Year of the Pulses? You may ask, why does the UN care about pulses? Let me tell you all about it!

Whether you just want a snack, or to entertain guests, this Pea Puree and Caramelized Onion Toast will fit the bill. They are delicious and satisfying – plus also easy to make! I used a pea puree I made from yellow split peas, but you can also use plain hummus if you like. You can check out my homemade hummus recipe here. If you love caramelized onions as much as I do, you will also love this recipe. It’s one of my faves!

I used Dave’s Killer Bread to make the toast. My kids just love it. It’s a very seedy bread, and the seeds add a great crunch/texture to this recipe. If you are gluten free, feel free to use another bread if you like.

Oat Bran Muffins (Vegan, Gluten Free)

I have some Oat Bran Muffins for you to try! I have been making bran muffins for years. However, the recipe I use is not gluten free. It calls for spelt flour.

So this week, I tweaked it a bit to make it gluten free. The result was delicious and my 6 year old LOVED them. I hope you love them too.

Not only is this recipe vegan and gluten free, but it can easily be made nut free if you just swap out the almond milk for another nut free milk.
