Is there anything tastier and better smelling than a fresh baked sticky bun? We think not. 

These sticky buns are gluten and dairy free too, but you can always use regular butter and such. The real star is the  Manuka Honey because who says you can’t have your sticky bun and get your daily dose of immune support too? 

These sticky buns are made healthier with spelt flour, and are sweetened with honey instead of refined-sugar. Instead of baking in the oven, we pop them in the air fryer for the perfect bake! Yum! 

Ingredients:

Dough

• 3 Cups spelt flour 
• 3 Tsp baking powder
• 1 Cup almond milk
• 2 Tsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 Tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 Tbsp PRI Manuka Honey 5+
• 6 Tbsp coconut oil (Melted)

Filling

• 1 Tbsp vegan butter
• 2 Tbsp PRI Manuka Honey 5+
• 1.5 Tbsp cinnamon 
• 1/4 Cup pecans (Chopped)
  

Honey Caramel

• 1 Can coconut milk (We used @edwardandsons Native Forest)
• 1/3 Cup + 1 tbsp PRI Manuka Honey 5+
• 2 Tsp vanilla extract 
• 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 Cup pecans (Chopped)

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk almond milk and apple cider vinegar to create a dairy-free “buttermilk”. Let it sit for 8-10 minutes and then whisk in vanilla, coconut oil, and manuka honey.
2. In a large bowl, whisk spelt four with baking powder. Then combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients aka the dairy-free “buttermilk”. Use a spatula and stir until you have a dough ball that is well incorporated. 
3. Place the dough on a parchment paper surface and spread some spelt flour on the parchment so the dough doesn’t stick. Roll out the dough into a rectangle with parchment paper between the rolling pin so it doesn’t stick. 
4. Next spread vegan slightly melted or room temperature butter across the rectangle, leaving a border at the edges. After the butter, spread honey. Next, sift 1.5-2 tablespoons of cinnamon over the butter/honey mixture. Finally top with crushed pecans. 
5. The next step is to roll the dough into a log. Use the parchment paper to help you roll the dough, make sure you press tightly to create a beautiful cinnamon roll texture and those drool-worthy layers. 
6. Use a thread or sharp knife to slice the sticky buns.
7. The next step is to create the honey caramel. Bring coconut milk, manuka honey, coconut oil and vanilla to a boil in a saucepan. Give it a good sturn and let it boil on high for about 15 minutes until the mixture is reduced by half. Turn the heat down if you think it will boil over. Remove from heat, give it a good stir and let cool. 
8. Then in an air-fryer friendly baking pan (that will fit in your air fryer) place a round piece of parchment paper on the bottom. Pour the caramel on the bottom, then top with chopped pecans. Next, add your sticky bun dough. Bake at 400F for 10-12 minutes. Each air-fryer may vary so check periodically until cooked through. Remove from the air fryer, let cool and enjoy!

National Bagel Day bold statement alert! You will never buy bagels at the grocery store again after you make these! 6 ingredients, gluten free, yeast free and made in the air fryer...the texture is *insert chefs’ kiss here*  

Our Honey Oat Flour bagels are great plain or you could also top them with Everything Bagel seasoning, sesame seeds or really anything else you want! 

There is no waiting for the dough to rise which means your bagel craving can be satiated in under 30 minutes aka less time than that trip to the store for those other “bagels” 😉 You could even make the dough the night before and then pop em in the air fryer for that just baked bagel experience.  Since the MGO in the manuka will not be killed off by the heat, these are also a tasty way to add a little natural boost to your morning!

Our recent poll indicated you wanted to see two things: more air fryer recipes and more healthy dessert recipes… we figured why not give you both at the same time!

Thus, our Air Fryer Honey Apple Pie Bombs have arrived! These channel all the holiday feels without all the holiday effort. Only five ingredients and the hardest part is...wait, there is no hard part! 

Serve these to round out our holiday sheet pan meal (Part 1, Part 2) plan, or bring to your office potluck or holiday parties and share just how delicious the benefits of Manuka Honey can be. 

Ingredients:

• 1 Can of premade biscuits (We used Immaculate Baking)
• 5-6 Large apples (We used honeycrisp)
• ⅔ Cup PRI Manuka Honey 5+
• 1 Lemon (Juiced) 
• 2-3 Tsp Cinnamon             

     

Instructions:

1. Peel, core and slice your apples into small pieces. Place them in a large pot and add the juice of one lemon. Add ⅓ cup manuka honey into the pot and stir until well combined throughout. Let it sit for 10 minutes. 
2. While the apples are sitting, open your biscuits. You should have 8 biscuits. Separate each biscuit into two layers, it should be easy to spread apart. Roll the biscuit out with a rolling pin to 3-4 inch circle in diameter, use parchment paper between the rolling pin so it doesn't stick if needed.
3. Place the pot on medium heat, add ⅓ cup more manuka honey and the cinnamon. Stir often for 20 minutes. The liquid should absorb mostly until the apples form a beautiful golden and thick apple filling. 
4. Once the  biscuit dough is rolled out place 1 tbsp of filling in the dough and pinch the edges up like a bao bun to form a circle. Pinch in the corners well so no filling comes out when cooked.
5. Preheat your air fryer to 350F. Spray the air fryer with cooking spray or oil and then place in your batch. Cook for 7-9 minutes, check until golden. Repeat until all the biscuits are made, this should yield at least 15-16 apple pie bombs.
6. Roll in cinnamon and/or sugar and top with more honey!
7. Enjoy!
