Chocolate Hummus

Description

This sweet riff on classically savory hummus makes for a protein-packed spread that’s great for guilt-free snacking. Earthy and mildly sweet, we like it with Crispin and Gala apples.

Ingredients

  • 1 can of garbanzo beans, strained and rinsed well
  • 3 ½ – 4 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 2 tablespoons water (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients except water, using just 3 ½ tablespoons maple syrup.
  2. Puree until mixture is smooth, about 30-60 seconds. Add water one tablespoon at a time to create desired consistency. Add remaining maple syrup if desired.
