  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas or black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar (or more to taste)
  • 1/3 cup runny almond butter (or other nut/seed butter)
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1-2 tbsp non-dairy milk (or more as needed to blend/thin)

Instructions

  1. Drain beans: Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas or black beans thoroughly to remove excess liquid and any canned flavor.
  2. Add to food processor: Place the rinsed beans into a food processor or high-speed blender, ensuring the appliance is ready for blending.
  3. Add remaining ingredients: Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut sugar, almond butter, vanilla bean paste, and salt to the beans in the processor.
  4. Blend: Blend the mixture for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy. Depending on your appliance, this time may vary.
  5. Adjust texture: If the hummus seems too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of non-dairy milk to thin it out and blend briefly to incorporate.
  6. Taste and adjust: Taste the hummus and adjust the sweetness or saltiness as preferred. Optionally, fold in 1/4 cup of chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
  7. Chill: Transfer the hummus to a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the dip to chill, enhancing the texture and taste.
  8. Serve: Serve chilled with fresh strawberries, apple slices, pretzels, graham crackers, or any preferred dippers for a wholesome and decadent snack.

Notes

  • Use black beans as a substitute for chickpeas if preferred; either works well.
  • Adjust coconut sugar quantity based on desired sweetness.
  • Use any nut or seed butter if almond butter is not available.
  • Vanilla bean paste enhances flavor but vanilla extract can be used instead.
  • For a thicker dip, omit or minimize the non-dairy milk.
  • Chilling the hummus not only improves flavor but also thickens the consistency.
  • Adding chocolate chips is optional but adds texture and extra chocolate flavor.
