Origins of Hummus
Like many foods, the exact origin of hummus is debated. But the first recipes appeared in 13th-century cookbooks (source). Hummus bi tahini (often just referred to as “hummus”) is typically made with chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and lemon. It’s a common dish in Turkish, Lebanese, Syrian, and Egyptian cuisine, among others. Our chocolate peanut butter version is not traditional as it takes on a sweet twist, but it’s a similarly creamy, delicious, and versatile dip!
How to Make Chocolate Hummus
This delectable, dessert-y dip starts off with our favorite hack for smooth and creamy hummus: microwaving or simmering the chickpeas in their liquid to get them soft and ready for blending. Then, for a sweet, balanced result, maple syrup combines with cocoa powder, peanut butter, and vanilla. This combination creates a chocolaty, peanut buttery hummus and covers up any “beany” flavor! And that’s it, friends! Slice up some fruit or simply grab a spoon and dig in. We can’t wait for you to try this chocolate peanut butter hummus!
