Ingredients

• 1 cup Chickpeas (canned or cooked)
• 1 medium Ripe banana
• 2 tablespoons Almond butter
• 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (or water)
• 2 tablespoons Sliced almonds or chocolate chips (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch and help reduce their natural flavor.

Step 2

Peel the ripe banana and break it into smaller chunks to make it easier to blend.

Step 3

In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the chickpeas, banana, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, salt, and 2 tablespoons of almond milk (or water).

Step 4

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add more almond milk or water, one tablespoon at a time, if the mixture is too thick.

Step 5

Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.

Step 6

Once the hummus is smooth, transfer it to a serving bowl.

Step 7

Optional: Sprinkle with sliced almonds or chocolate chips for a decorative and flavorful garnish.

Step 8

Serve immediately with sliced fruit, graham crackers, or as a spread on toast. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
