Equipment
- Food processor
Ingredients
- 1 can low-sodium chickpeas rinsed and drained (15-ounce can or 1 ½ cups of cooked chickpeas)
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For serving
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- strawberries hulled and sliced in halves
- kiwi peeled and sliced
- pretzels, crackers, cookies
Instructions
- Get all of your ingredients, and put them in the bowl of the food processor. Pulse mixture until you get a very smooth dip (it's ok to run the food processor for around 5 minutes to get a super smooth dip).
- Depending on how smooth you like your hummus to be, add water but really carefully as you don't want to thin the hummus out too much.
- Add to a bowl, and spread it out using a spoon. Drizzle with maple syrup, and garnish with chocolate chips or cocoa nibs.
