Thanksgiving 2019 … https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/255533/brownie-batter-dip-aka-chocolate-hummus/ … ‘Liked this. I replaced peanut butter with creamy sunflower butter; regular cocoa for dark. ‘Didn’t blend the chickpeas smooth, but should have; maybe chunky sunflower butter for a li’l texture. I’ll also add espresso powder as another reviewer suggested. A little goes a long way – meaning serves more than ya may think. ‘Served with pretzels. SuzyQ, are ya reading this? ‘Not the same as a baked brownie, but a girl needs some chocolate!
I’ve made this a few times now and can’t quite get the consistency right but love the flavor!!
I use 2Tbsp maple syrup or honey, in place of the sugar. I also used Dutch chocolate as I have never found dark cocoa powder.
perfect dessert or appetizer dip! I used almond butter instead of peanut butter, and used a combination of maple syrup (2 T) and coconut sugar (4T), with the result being just a little less sweet than original recipe. Served with whole wheat water crackers and thin ginger cookies, along with a side of berry salad. Nothing left to take home!
As-is, it was okay. Once I added a teadpoon of espresso powder, it was *amazing.* If you don’t have espresso powder, coffee powder could work, or just brew strong coffee and use that in place of water. Can’t wait to eat this with cookies, fruit, and pretzels!
Made this for my child care and they loved it
Due to nut allergies I used sun butter and I had Dutch Cocoa on hand. Excellent!
