Notes
- Canned Chickpeas: This recipe will also work with cannellini beans and butter beans
- Maple syrup: This can be substituted for honey, or ¼ cup of sugar plus 2-4 tablespoons of water.
- Olive oil: Any mild flavoured oil you have to hand will work; coconut oil, light olive oil, rice bran oil.
- Salt: this can. be left out, however, a little salt really heightens the chocolate flavours in this hummus recipe.
- Ripe banana: A ripe banana adds extra sweetness and gives a softer smoother texture, however with a banana the recipe does not last as long.
- Cooca: You can use cacao if you prefer or if you don't want a chocolate hummus, you can make a cookie dough hummus, you will need to add ¼ cup of your favourite nut butter and you will need to include the ripe banana.
