Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas or black beans (about 15 oz/425 g), 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

  1. Drain Beans: Drain and rinse the chickpeas or black beans thoroughly to remove excess liquid and reduce any canned taste.
  2. Add to Food Processor: Place the drained beans into a food processor or high-speed blender.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut sugar, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor.
  4. Blend: Blend all the ingredients on high speed for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add 1-2 tablespoons of non-dairy milk to achieve the desired consistency.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Taste the hummus and adjust sweetness or saltiness as needed. Note that blending can warm the mixture.
  6. Chill: Transfer the hummus to a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and to cool it down for best taste.
  7. Serve: Serve chilled as a dip with strawberries, apple slices, pretzels, graham crackers, or fold in 1/4 cup of chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Using black beans instead of chickpeas adds a slightly different texture and richer flavor.
  • Coconut sugar can be adjusted to taste or substituted with other sweeteners like brown sugar or additional maple syrup.
  • The addition of non-dairy milk is optional and should be used to adjust the consistency as preferred.
  • Refrigeration enhances the flavor and firms up the hummus, making it more enjoyable.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free.
  • Fold in chocolate chips right before serving if you prefer a chunkier texture.
