Mint Chocolate Chip Dessert Hummus

Wooo! How bout that for some title bait?

Yes, I did in fact make a recipe JUST to have something green to post about for St. Paddy’s Day.

Yes, it is simple…delicious…and can be made in a blender, food processor, magic bullet, or if you don’t mind it being a little chunky…fork it up!

No, it does NOT taste like beans.

Yes, it makes a perfectly acceptable dinner…hey, I’m part Irish AND it’s St. Paddy’s Day!

Mint Chocolate Chip Dessert Hummus:
Inspired by the Wannabe Chef’s Peanut Butter Dessert Hummus

1 cup white kidney beans
1/4 cup almond butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
3/4 teaspoon mint extract
6-8 drops green food coloring
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate pieces (or chips)

1. Combine beans, almond butter, and maple syrup in food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Add in the mint extract and food coloring and process.
3. Stir in chocolate pieces.
4. Lick the food processor clean with a rubber spatula…yes, that is the MOST important step in this process!

I made this recipe small since it was a first time experiment, but feel free to double…or even triple it…you WILL want more once this is gone!

Note: Mint Chocolate Chip Hummus sandwiched between two graham crackers tastes JUST like a Thin Mint without all the saturated fat or the pain in your wallet!
