Ingredient Notes:
Hemp Hearts: The sneaky, secret ingredient in this whoopie pie recipe is the Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts. These don’t change the flavor of the recipe at all but add some additional health benefits. Hemp hearts are the inside of hemp seed and the most nutritious and tender part. You can eat them on their own, add them into baked goods like this, or just sprinkle on top of things like salads or in smoothies. Hemp hearts are packed with protein, omegas 3 & 6, and 9 essential amino acids. They’re also high in nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and iron. Chocolate: For this recipe I used both semi-sweet and dark chocolate. However, you can use whatever you prefer. I find this combination adds the perfect sweetness (from the semi-sweet) and bitterness (from the dark chocolate) to make it well-balanced and delicious.
