Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked white beans (e.g., cannellini or navy beans)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and drain the cooked white beans thoroughly to remove any excess liquid and ensure a mild flavor.
Step 2
In a food processor or blender, combine the rinsed white beans, honey, almond milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the food processor or blender as needed. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Taste the spread and adjust sweetness or spices according to preference. For a thinner consistency, add a little more almond milk, one teaspoon at a time, blending to incorporate.
Step 5
Transfer the sweet bean spread to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
Step 6
Serve as a spread on toast, crackers, or pancakes, or use it as a dip for apple slices, strawberries, or other fruits. Enjoy!
