Instructions

Combine the chickpeas, unsweetened cocoa powder, creamy peanut butter, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender.
Blend the ingredients in short bursts, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Blending in intervals helps prevent overheating and ensures a consistent texture.
Transfer the chocolate hummus to a serving bowl. Serve with your favorite dippers such as fresh fruit slices, crackers, pita chips, or even use it as a spread for toast.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

Adjust cocoa powder to your liking. Use more for a darker chocolate hummus and less for a lighter milk chocolate flavor.
For a creamier hummus, increase the amount of nut butter.
Prep time doesn't include chickpea soaking time.
If using canned chickpeas, you can skip the cooking step.
Substitute peanut butter with any other nut butter.

Expert Tips

For a richer chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder or even Dutch-processed cocoa.
Balance the sweetness by adding a pinch of salt or a few drops of maple syrup to taste.
Roast the chickpeas before blending for a deeper, nuttier flavor in your hummus.
