Hummus Ingredients
- 1 cup Medjool dates
- 1 (15.5 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 4 tbsp coconut milk
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
Instructions
- Soak Dates: Soak the Medjool dates in one cup of warm water for 10 minutes to soften them and make them easier to blend smoothly.
- Prepare Dates: Remove the dates from the water and, using your fingers, carefully push open each date to remove the pits.
- Initial Blending: Place the pitted dates in the bowl of a food processor. Add the rinsed and drained chickpeas, then pulse the mixture until the dates and chickpeas are blended and slightly creamy.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add almond butter, pure maple syrup, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the food processor bowl.
- Blend to Smoothness: Blend all ingredients together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fully combined.
- Serve and Store: When ready to serve, sprinkle additional sea salt over the top of the hummus. Enjoy it with fresh fruit or spread on toast. Store hummus in a sealed container in the refrigerator, where it will keep fresh for up to one week.
Notes
- Soaking the dates softens them and ensures a smoother texture in the hummus.
- Use a food processor for best blending results.
- Additional sea salt sprinkled on top balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
- This sweet hummus pairs wonderfully with apple slices, banana, or toast.
- Store in an airtight container refrigerated for up to one week.
