Chocolate Hummus is a sweet and healthy snack that kids and grown-ups will both love. Whip up a batch in less than 10 minutes…no blender needed!
Chocolate Hummus
Hummus made with chocolate? Believe it!! This sweet yet savory chocolate dip is delicious, healthy, and made with simple ingredients.
Chocolate hummus is a versatile snack that can be enjoyed on its own, or it can be used as a dip for fruits, vegetables, or crackers.
Smooth and creamy, it tastes super decadent, but is made with healthy ingredients! In addition to being naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan, chocolate hummus is a great source of protein and fiber!
My kids love Nutella, but it is pretty high in sugar. It is also made with milk, which means I can’t personally eat it often, since I am lactose intolerant. I’m so excited about this dessert hummus because it can be used just like Nutella, but is made with better-for-you things!
While traditional hummus is a savory dish, we made a dessert hummus by adding cocoa powder and honey as a natural sweetener. This chocolate hummus is smooth, creamy, just the right amount of sweet, and an unexpected twist on a classic dish.
Hummus is usuallyย made with chickpeas (garbanzo beans) that you blend in a food processor until smooth. However, our chocolate hummus recipe uses chickpea flour instead, so there’s no blender or food processor needed! You can whip up a batch of this tasty treat in 10 minutes or less!
Healthy, easy, AND delicious! Talk about the perfect snack recipe! Kids will love it because it’s chocolate, and you’ll love it because you know the secret that it’s actually good for them!
