5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE HUMMUS
For the longest time I wished my family wanted to eat beans.
Then one day I made black bean brownies and realized that if I made something with beans, but couldn’t actually SEE the beans, my family scarfed it down without a word.
Since this chocolate and bean combination seemed to be a winner, I started to wonder how else I could transform the infamously unappetizing bean into something my family would devour.
INGREDIENTS
- 1½ cup cooked garbanzo beans* (how to soak and cook dry beans) OR 1 can of garbanzo beans, strained and rinsed 3 times
- 3½ - 4 Tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 Tbsp unsweetened baking cocoa
- 2 Tbsp water (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a blender or in a food processor, combine all the ingredients except water, using just 3½ Tbsp of maple syrup.
- Puree until the mixture is smooth, about 30-60 seconds. Add water 1 Tbsp at a time to create the desired consistency. Taste the chocolate hummus and add remaining maple syrup if desired.
