Yummy Brownie Hummous

This amazing alternative to sugary sweet snacks is a great way to incorporate some healthiness (is that a word?) into your life.... without feeling guilty about it. 

Pair this with the old favourites, apples, pears etc, or switch it up and add some strawberries, or pretzel sticks. 

This recipe can be easily altered to accommodate to your tastes. Add nuts. Forget about the chocolate and add some vanilla bean. Use semi sweet chocolates, or milk. Add a caramel swirl, if that floats your boat. Add peanut butter and bananas instead of the chocolate.

There are a gazillion ways to enjoy this. All without the guilt. 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups | 1 540ml can cooked chickpeas drained and rinsed well
• 5 tablespoons cocoa powder
• ½ cup | 100g chocolate chips I like to use semi-sweet but you can use whatever you have
• ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons | 6 tablespoons maple syrup 
• ¼ - ¾ cup | 4 - 12 tablespoons non-dairy milk , add as much milk as necessary to get it to the texture you like. 
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

​Directions:
1.  Add all ingredients into a food processor, expect the milk.
2.  Process until everything is broken down then start adding the milk gradually while blending. Add as much as you need to get the consistency that is right for you. I used ¼ cup but you might prefer slightly more or less. Keep blending until it is completely smooth.
3. Store in a sealed container in the fridge.
