Peanut Butter Dessert Hummus

January 7, 2019 | After School Snacks, No-bake Sweets

We’re just back from holiday and the kids are back into the swing of having friends over and intensive early morning nippers training for my son. So they need snacks, regular snacks and it’s way to humid for me to put the oven on. Enter this Peanut Butter Dessert ‘Hummus’…

It’s one of over a 1,000 awesome recipes in this years brilliant Healthy Meal Planning Bundle – thanks so much to Cheapskate Cooks for the recipe inspo! To be honest, I wasn’t so sure they’d like it. But surprise me as they do, they absolutely love it (they say it tastes like a cookie dough) and I’m thrilled because it is one of the easiest things I’ve ever made.

 

Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit many dietary requirements.

A quick, delicious and nutritious snack - my kids think it tastes like a peanut butter cookie dough!

Ingredients

  • 400 g can cannellini beans -or chick peas, drained and rinsed
  • 85 g rice malt syrup, honey or maple syrup (¼ cup) 
  • 1 tsp vanilla powder, extract or essence
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 190 g peanut butter (¾ cup)
  • 2-4 tbsp milk - of your choice or coconut water
  • 30 g chocolate chips (¼ cup) or cacao nibs, to taste (optional)

Dippers

  • Fruit - strawberries, slice apple or stone fruit
  • Crackers (plain sweet or savoury)
  • My kids even love this with carrot sticks and I'm not arguing!

Method

  • Combine all ingredients except milk and chocolate chips in a food processor and puree until very smooth (2­-3 minutes, depending on how powerful your machine is). Thin with milk or coconut water if necessary to reach desired consistency.
  • Stir in chocolate chips and eat with a spoon (mmmmm...), or serve with a 'dipper'.

Thermomix

  • Add the white beans/ chick peas to the bowl and process for 5 seconds, speed 5.
  • Add the sweetener, vanilla, sea salt, peanut butter and blend 30 seconds, speed 5 (scraping down the sides every 10 seconds).
  • Add the milk or coconut water and blend 5 seconds at a time until you have the consistency you're after. 
  • Mix through the choc chips or cacao nibs, reverse 10 seconds speed 5. Serve as above.

Store

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Variations

Peanut-free­

Substitute peanut butter for another nut butter, like cashew or almond.

Nut-free

Use sun butter or desired substitute.

Vegan and dairy-free

If you’re dairy­-free, choose a dairy-free chocolate or cacao nibs. For vegan choose rice malt or maple syrup as your sweetener.

Fructose friendly

Choose rice malt syrup as your sweetener and cacao nibs.

Chocoholic

Add a few tablespoons of cocoa powder to the mix, then blend in thoroughly.

Make it sweeter

The original recipe (via Cheapskate Cooks) has ⅓ cup of sweetener, but I find the ¼ enough. For sweet tooth, it would be best to add more though.

    Hi Georgia,
    This sounds like my kids kind of snack do you find your kids like it better with the canellini beans or chickpeas? What’s the difference?
    Thanks x

      Mine prefer the chickpeas Chantelle, the difference is minimal according to them, chickpeas are a bit nuttier, canellini are creamier. G x

    Hi Georgia,
    Fabulous idea. Do you think that by adding an egg and baking it, we’d get a kind of cookie? I’m tempted to try… My kids tend to prefer things they can bite and chew rather than spoon or dip.
    Also, I was wondering if you had any good iron-rich vegetarian recipes? I’ve been looking for molasse cookies recipes on the web, but they were all disappointing (with added sugar or too complicated). I just love baking your recipes because they are so good every time and so aligned with our values!
    Thanks and Happy new year!

      So funny Mahité – I though very much the same, great minds think alike. I have made similar in the past so suspect it will work.

      You know you can sub the sweetener (honey, maple or rms) in any of my recipes with molasses (either in total or part of). I don’t use it as I over did it when I was a uni student and now I just can’t face it ?. I want to like it but just don’t so I can’t test with it. How about these ice blocks too, the beetroot is a good iron tonic https://wellnourished.com.au/detox-ice-blocks/.

      Happy New Year Mahité – G x
