Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas or black beans, drained and rinsed
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut sugar or more to taste
- ⅓ cup runny almond butter or other nut/seed butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1–2 tbsp non-dairy milk or more as needed to blend/thin
Instructions
- Prepare the Beans: Drain and thoroughly rinse the chickpeas or black beans to remove any excess liquid and ensure a clean base for smooth blending.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the rinsed beans into a food processor or high-speed blender. Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut sugar, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture for about 1 to 2 minutes until completely smooth. Depending on your blender’s power and the texture, this might vary.
- Adjust Thickness: If the hummus is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of non-dairy milk gradually and blend again to reach desired consistency.
- Chill the Hummus: Transfer the hummus to a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably longer, to allow flavors to meld and the dip to cool.
- Serve: Enjoy with fresh strawberries, apple slices, pretzels, graham crackers, or fold in ¼ cup chocolate chips for extra indulgence before serving.
Notes
- Both chickpeas and black beans work well; black beans yield a creamier texture.
- Be sure to rinse beans very well to avoid any bean flavor.
- For a nut-free version, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
- The hummus can be stored in the fridge for several days and gets better as flavors develop.
