Is honey vegan?
No, honey is not vegan. People have varying opinions about the ethics of harvesting and consuming honey, but the bottom line is that since it comes from an animal, honey is not considered vegan. However, many people who identify as plant-based do eat honey, but not other foods derived from animals.
Honey substitutions
If you still want the flavor and texture of honey, but you are vegan, you can use Bee Free Honee. It’s a product made from apples, yet it has a surprisingly similar taste to real honey. You can also easily make it yourself using my vegan honey recipe, which is made from apple juice.
If you’re not super picky about having the exact honey flavor, then agave nectar is also a good vegan honey alternative and can be substituted in most recipes.
Ingredients
- Yellow Mustard – this is just plain regular mustard you can get at any store. You can also use brown spicy mustard or Dijon mustard for more flavor.
- Agave Nectar – agave is the easiest honey substitute to find, but you can also use Bee Free Honee or my homemade apple honey. You can also use maple syrup as a sweetener, but it will not provide the same honey flavor.
- Sea Salt – for flavor.
- Garlic Powder – or onion powder for flavor (optional).
How to make vegan honey mustard

- Put yellow mustard into a small bowl.
- Add vegan Bee Free Honee, my vegan honey, or agave nectar to the mustard.
- Stir until smooth.

It’s that simple to make the most delicious vegan honey mustard sauce ever!
Note: You can also mix this vegan honey mustard with vegan mayo or garlic aioli for a delicious sandwich spread.
Vegan honey mustard dressing
If you want honey mustard salad dressing, add 1 tbsp. of white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar) and whisk until creamy to turn it into a honey mustard vinaigrette! Pour it over your salad or use it as a dip for carrot sticks or other vegetables.
What to do with honey mustard
