Snickerdoodle Hummus

Dessert hummus …What…. Yes it is a thing. And I am addicted. However I cannot bring myself to buy it at $5.99 for an 8 ounce container. Also most dessert hummus recipes have a lot of sugar (raw, cane, blah…whatever kind it is). Sugar is generally the second ingredient which means more predominant than other ingredients. Next time sweet pumpkin??! Chocolate ? Keep posted for more. I love beans…sneaking them in one recipe at a time.

This recipe yields (2 1/2 cups):

20 servings (two tablespoons = one serving)

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (I used Aldi)

1 can of chickpeas rinsed and drained well (1 1/2 cups)

1 teaspoon ground Vietnamese cinnamon (penzeys)

1 teaspoon of ground flaxseed (bob’s red mill)

1/8 teaspoon of baking soda

1/8 teaspoon of kosher salt (I use diamond crystal)

1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter (I am a fan of jif)

7 packets of Trivia (stevia)

1 vanilla bean, paste, scrapped and bean pod discarded

2 teaspoon of high quality vanilla extract

Directions:

Place everything in the food processor and process until smooth and desired consistency. Enjoy with fruit (grapes, apple slices, banana chunks, pear slices, strawberries), or graham crackers, honey wheat pretzels… The list goes on or on wasa aircrisp crackers (my favorite).
