Equipment
- Food Processor or High-Speed Blender
- Measuring Spoons and Cups
- spatula
- Airtight Container for Storage
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz garbanzo beans rinsed and drained
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- ½ cup unsweetened cacao powder
- ¼ cup almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
- 2-4 tablespoons almond milk for consistency
Instructions
- Beans Prep: Thoroughly rinse and drain the garbanzo beans. Peeling them is optional but recommended for the smoothest texture.
- Combine and Blend: In your food processor, mix the garbanzo beans with maple syrup, cacao powder, almond butter, vanilla extract, sea salt, and Ceylon cinnamon until smooth.
- Texture Adjustment: If the mixture is too thick, slowly add almond milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you achieve the perfect consistency.
- Flavor Fine-tuning: Taste the hummus and, if desired, adjust by adding more maple syrup for sweetness or cacao powder for a deeper chocolate flavor.
- Chill: Transfer the hummus to a bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour. This enhances the flavors and texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle a bit more Ceylon cinnamon or sea salt as a garnish before serving. Enjoy this delightful hummus with your favorite fruits, crackers, or on its own!
