Description
Brownie Batter Chocolate Hummus is a delicious and healthier dessert dip that combines the rich flavors of cocoa and almond butter with the creaminess of chickpeas or black beans.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can chickpeas or black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar (or more to taste)
- 1/3 cup runny almond butter (or other nut/seed butter)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1–2 tbsp non-dairy milk (or more as needed to blend/thin)
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas or black beans thoroughly to remove any canned residue and ensure a smooth, clean taste.
- Place the drained beans into a food processor or high-speed blender. Add cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut sugar, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Blend all the ingredients until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes depending on your equipment. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides if needed.
- If the hummus is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of non-dairy milk gradually to reach your desired creamy texture. Blend again to incorporate.
- Transfer the hummus to a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and the texture firm up; longer chilling enhances the taste.
- Serve chilled with fresh fruits like strawberries and apple slices, or crunchy snacks such as pretzels and graham crackers. Optionally, fold in 1/4 cup chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- This dip is vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more coconut sugar if desired.
