Servings: 1 pint
Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained (for the creamiest hummus, remove the skins)
- ⅓ cup natural peanut butter, almond butter, or tahini*
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup milk or water, plus more as needed
- Mini chocolate chips for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chickpeas into the bowl of a high-speed food processor with all of the other ingredients.
- Blend until smooth, then taste for seasoning. Based on your preference, add more maple syrup for sweetness, tahini/peanut butter for nuttiness, or salt for flavor.
- If needed, add more milk little by little to thin out the hummus—it should have a slightly runny consistency, as it will stiffen in the refrigerator.
- To serve, spoon the hummus into a bowl or platter and garnish with chocolate chips. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
*Whatever nut butter you choose, make sure the only ingredients on the label are nuts and salt.
