By Karrie Billets, Functional Nutrition Health Coach

INGREDIENTS

    • 1 can of chickpeas (washed and drained)
    • ¼ cup tahini
    • ¼ cup cocoa powder
    • ½ cinnamon
    • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • Pinch of salt
  • Directions
  • 1. Place chickpeas in a medium saucepan with ½ tsp baking soda. Cover the chickpeas with several inches of water, then bring to a boil over high heat. 
  • 2. Boil for about 20 minutes or until the chickpeas look bloated, soft, and their skins are falling off. In a fine mesh strainer, drain the chickpeas and run cool water over them.
  • 3. Add the chickpeas to a food processor along with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Blend until the mixture is thick and creamy. Scrape down the sides and add more water as necessary.
  • 4. Pour into a bowl and serve with various fruits (strawberries or apples are great), gluten free or grain free pretzels.
