Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup natural almond butter or peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 23 tablespoons almond milk or your favorite plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly to remove excess sodium and canned flavor.
  2. Add the drained chickpeas to a food processor and blend for about 30 seconds until they start breaking down.
  3. Add 1/3 cup of almond or peanut butter and blend for another 30 seconds until smooth.
  4. Pour in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then blend again for 20 seconds.
  5. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon if using. Slowly add 2-3 tablespoons of almond milk while blending until desired creamy consistency is reached.
  6. Stop and scrape down the sides of the processor bowl with a spatula to ensure even mixing.
  7. Remove the blade and gently fold in 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips using a spatula to keep them intact.
  8. Taste the dip and adjust sweetness or salt as needed, remembering it should be slightly sweeter than desired because chilling dulls sweetness.
  9. Optional: Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors and firm up the texture, though it is delicious served immediately.

Notes

Use smooth nut butter for best texture. Rinse chickpeas well to avoid canned flavor. Fold in chocolate chips last to keep their shape. Add almond milk slowly to adjust consistency. Chill for firmer texture and better flavor melding. Nut-free version possible with sunflower seed butter. Can freeze up to 3 months.
