Ingredients
- 1 (15oz) can great northern beans, drained & rinsed well
- 3 tablespoons 100% peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- Dash of sea salt
- 2-3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add great northern beans, peanut butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and a dash of sea salt to a food processor.
- Process to Smooth: Start the food processor. As the mixture begins to blend smoothly, drizzle in water one tablespoon at a time until you reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Serve: Once fully blended and smooth, transfer the chocolate hummus to a serving bowl. It pairs wonderfully with fruits such as strawberries and apples, can be spread on bananas, used as a dip for graham crackers, or enjoyed on warm toasted bread.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
- Use 100% natural peanut butter to ensure the best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add water gradually until desired texture is achieved.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Experiment with other nut butters like almond or cashew for variations.
