Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
Step 2
In a food processor or blender, combine the chickpeas, maple syrup, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 3
Blend the ingredients until smooth, scraping down the sides of the processor as needed.
Step 4
Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, blending between additions until the desired consistency is achieved. The spread should be creamy and easy to spread but not too runny.
Step 5
Taste and adjust the flavors. Add more maple syrup for sweetness, lemon juice for tanginess, or a pinch of salt as needed.
Step 6
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Serve chilled or at room temperature with crackers, toast, or raw vegetables, or as a topping for yogurt bowls.
