This Brownie Batter Chocolate Hummus is a decadent and healthy twist on traditional hummus, blending chickpeas with rich cocoa and a touch of natural sweeteners to create a creamy, chocolatey dip. Perfect as a guilt-free dessert or snack, it pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit, pretzels, or crackers, offering a delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth without refined sugars or artificial ingredients.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: About 1 1/2 cups

Ingredients

Chocolate Hummus

  • 1 15 ounce can chickpeas or black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar (or more to taste)
  • ⅓ cup runny almond butter or other nut/seed butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1-2 tablespoons non-dairy milk (as needed to blend/thin)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beans: Drain and rinse the chickpeas or black beans thoroughly to remove excess liquid and any canned flavor. Add them to a food processor or high-speed blender for the base of your hummus.
  2. Add remaining ingredients: Incorporate the cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut sugar, almond butter, vanilla bean paste, and salt into the food processor but do not add the non-dairy milk yet. These ingredients create the rich brownie batter flavor.
  3. Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture completely for 1-2 minutes, depending on your equipment, until it achieves a smooth, creamy consistency. If the hummus is too thick to blend well, add 1-2 tablespoons of non-dairy milk gradually to thin it out as needed.
  4. Adjust and chill: Taste your chocolate hummus and add extra sweetener if desired. The mixture might get warm from blending; transfer it to a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
  5. Serve: Enjoy this versatile hummus with fresh strawberries, apple slices, pretzels, or graham crackers. Optionally, stir in about ¼ cup of chocolate chips before serving for extra chocolatey goodness.

Notes

  • Use either chickpeas or black beans based on preference; both provide a creamy texture and a good protein base.
  • Adjust sweetness with maple syrup and coconut sugar to your taste.
  • For a nut-free option, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
  • Refrigerating the hummus for longer than 30 minutes enhances flavor blending and improves texture.
  • Adding chocolate chips is optional but adds a delightful texture and richer chocolate flavor.
