Chocolate Chickpea Spread
Use this as a dip or spread. Pairs well with apples, pretzels, toast, and is also pretty yummy straight off the spoon (don't ask how I know that).
Equipment
- blender or food processor
- Can Opener
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans) 1 can is about 1.5 cups if using beans you cooked yourself.
- 3/8 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup tahini can substitute soy butter as well for a more nutty flavor
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 2 Tbsp water can also use the water from the chickpea can
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Drain and rinse chickpeas. (If using the liquid, drain into a bowl to preserve the liquid.)
- Add all ingredients to the blender or food processor.
- Blend until desired texture. I like mine chunky, but if you want a smooth, creamy texture, just keep blending.
