Dessert hummus

17.12.2014

Nutrition content per serve (1 tbsp): *

97 cal | protein: 3g | total fat: 5g| sat fat: 1g | carbs: 10g | sugar: 5g | fibre: 3g

*Approximate values from Xyris Food Works

Ingredients

  • 1 tin chickpeas drained
  • ¼ cup cacao powder
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ¼ cup peanut butter/nut butter/tahini (or a mix)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup regular milk

(makes approx. 12 tablespoons)

Method

  1. Blend all together in a food processor, except for the milk.
  2. Once ingredients are combined and smooth, add in milk slowly until desired consistency is reached. Serve this as a dip with cut up pieces of fruit and enjoy!

Why it’s good for you

Dark chocolate is an excellent source of polyphenols (think antioxidants!) and has been shown to act as a prebiotic to help keep our microbiome balanced and support overall health. Nut butter is loaded with monounsaturated fats to help keep your heart healthy, and chickpeas are a great source of soluble fibre to keep you full and your digestive system happy. This dessert hummus will curb that chocolate craving while you stay on top of your health goals!
