Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chickpeas: Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly to remove excess sodium and any canning liquid.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the chickpeas, cocoa powder, and maple syrup into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  3. Blend until Smooth: Process the mixture for 1-2 minutes or until it becomes creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
  4. Adjust Consistency and Sweetness: Taste the hummus and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired; you can also add a splash of water or plant-based milk to achieve your preferred consistency.
  5. Serve: Transfer the chocolate hummus to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 days to enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, peel the skins off the chickpeas before blending.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with agave nectar or honey if preferred.
  • Add a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Serve with fresh fruit, crackers, or use as a healthy spread on toast.
