Vegan "Hot Honey"
This vegan hot honey is a delightful blend of sweetness and spice that brings an exciting kick to any dish. I love how it can elevate everything from roasted veggies to pancakes!
I first stumbled upon the idea of hot agave nectar during a brunch outing with friends, and I was immediately smitten.
It was one of those ‘why didn’t I think of that?’ moments!
This vegan version uses maple syrup instead of agave nectar, so it’s not only cruelty-free but also has a lovely depth of flavor.
It’s super easy to make, and I often whip it up on a lazy Saturday morning while sipping my coffee.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Using pure maple syrup is key here; it gives that rich, warm sweetness that pairs so nicely with the heat. You can adjust the chili flakes based on how spicy you want it – I love a good kick, but if you’re not a fan, start with half a tablespoon!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep mine in a glass jar - it stays fresh for days and looks lovely on the table.
- •If you want to kick it up a notch, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll throw in a bit of fresh lemon zest for a citrusy twist.
- •You can also experiment with different spices, like ginger or turmeric, for a unique flavor profile.
Storage & Freezing
Store your hot agave nectar in an airtight glass jar in the fridge. It’ll thicken up a bit when cold, so just give it a gentle shake or warm it slightly before using.
