Description
This Brownie Batter Chocolate Hummus is a deliciously rich and chocolatey dip that brings together the indulgence of dessert with the health benefits of plant-based ingredients. Made with chickpeas (or black beans), cocoa powder, and almond butter, this hummus is naturally sweetened with maple syrup and coconut sugar, making it a guilt-free treat for any time of day.
Ingredients
1 can chickpeas or black beans (rinsed and drained)
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)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beans
Drain and rinse the chickpeas (or black beans) thoroughly. Add them to a food processor or high-speed blender.
Step 2: Blend the Ingredients
Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut sugar, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender.
Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is completely smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tbsp of non-dairy milk to thin it out.
Step 3: Adjust and Chill
Taste the hummus and adjust the sweetness or cocoa to your liking. If the hummus becomes warm from blending, transfer it to a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for better flavor).
Step 4: Serve
Once chilled, serve the brownie batter hummus with strawberries, apple slices, pretzels, graham crackers, or your favorite dippers.
For an extra treat, fold in ¼ cup of chocolate chips before serving.
