‘Hinny: A hinny is a domestic equine hybrid that is the offspring of a male horse and a female donkey (called a jenny). It is similar to the more common mule, which is the product of a female horse and a male donkey.’
Hinnies also LOVE to eat. Love. Which is why the Hungry Hinny mainly talks about food and baking.

Thanks mum….
Haha…in my experience, ALL horses love to eat. I once heard it said, you think a horse loves you, but all they really want is to be fed, and eat, eat, eat. I think I must be a hinny trapped in a woman’s body. I LOVE to eat (which is becoming quite a battle now that I am starting into my 3o’s and also a mommy.) Your blog is making me hungry… Have anything special for us calorie conscious people who don’t like fake sugar much? One good trick I learned is substituting applesauce for cooking oil in my box cakes (obviously lowers the fat content, but also makes for a denser, moister cake, which I love.)
I’ve used dates for their natural sweetness before, like with these chocolate fudge bites – http://hungryhinny.wordpress.com/2012/03/12/flour-sugar-and-dairy-free-chocolate-fudge-bites – they’re fairly low cal as long as you don’t have too many!
I do lots of baking with honey–best to buy the plainest, most “vanilla” kind of honey you can for baking (clover, alfalfa, etc. is too tangy). I stopped eating refined white sugar about 10 years ago and in about 6 months, with no other changes, lost 20+ pounds plus my energy levels went way up. Baking with honey can be a challenge, but it’s so worth it!
It seems like it takes a lot more honey to make something sweet (just in my limited experience using honey), and you end up with MORE calories, but they must be processed differently or something. That’s awesome!
I use way LESS honey!! I think it’s much sweeter than sugar. But I have gotten very used to it and no longer like super sweet stuff.
From reading the first part of the list, I would say a hinny mainly has a sweet tooth! I do too
Ooooh, I love hinnys then. They love sugar just like me. But don’t they ever get sick from eating all that sugar? I know I do.
Haha, no I think one of the hinny’s best skills is being able to eat and eat and eat without getting sick!
We are quite similar in the sense that we share our food fetish. Look forward to more from hungry Hinny!
