Raise your hand if you agree that the best part of baking is eating the batter! I seriously think cookie dough and brownie batter taste better uncooked. Unfortunately, with that comes the fear of getting salmonella from eating raw eggs. This healthy chocolate hummus recipe tastes just like fresh brownie batter. Best of all, it’s safe to eat and way healthier than regular brownie batter.

Recipe Tips
Answering your healthy chocolate hummus recipe tips:
What makes this hummus healthy?
You may have seen chocolate hummus before at the local grocery store. Usually, these store-bought versions are loaded with tons of added sugar and preservatives. This homemade chocolate hummus recipe is sweetened with honey, making it refined sugar-free. It keeps in the fridge for up to one week, so while it may not last as long as the store-bought version; it is way better for you. Also, in my opinion, this recipe is so good it would be hard to not eat all of it by the end of the week!
Making a more classic hummus recipe
I already have a Lemon & Rosemary flavored hummus recipe on the blog. This hummus recipe is a more traditional flavored hummus recipe. The chocolate hummus is sweeter and can serve as a dessert, while the lemon & rosemary flavored hummus is savory and is more of a snack. Both are delicious and so easy to make!
Using different beans
I know some people can be particular about the types of beans they like. I love all beans, but if you’re not a huge garbanzo beans fan, or don’t have any on hand, using cannellini beans would also taste great as well. Cannellini beans have less of a bean flavor than chickpeas, so they make this recipe taste even more like brownie batter.
