Chocolate Snickerdoodle Dessert Hummus is a healthy protein packed treat. It’s sweet enough to pass as a dessert and plant-based enough to pass as a healthy snack. I’d call that a win-win!

Like most people trying dessert hummus for the first time, I was a bit quizzical about chickpeas as a dessert. But dang! I can eat this “hummus” straight out of the bowl with a spoon! It’s smooth, creamy, and so easy to make.
I always enjoy bending expectations about food. Savory hummus is certainly the most popular way to eat your puréed chickpeas, but why not try something a little different?
Some time back in elementary school- hold on, we’re going way back in time!- my brother had a class assignment to make a dish that he’d never heard of before. He chose hummus. I have no idea why he (but actually my mom) chose hummus, or how he (really my mom) chose the flavor, but boy did they make a strange choice.
They made PEANUT BUTTER hummus. What?! It’s very clear that they had no idea what they were doing… or did they?! (This affected my family’s attitude toward hummus for a long time. Sigh.)
So, okay, I’m not sharing peanut butter dessert hummus today. But I was definitely inspired by that event in my life. I think if I tried that hummus today, with my new-and-improved taste buds, I would enjoy it. In all reality, I’ll probably share a peanut butter hummus recipe soon…
The awesome flavor combination you never knew your taste buds wanted
Chocolate dessert hummus is sweet, smooth, and reminiscent of brownie batter.
Snickerdoodle dessert hummus is full of subtle-yet-spicy cinnamon.
Chocolate + cinnamon are a match made in heaven! The two flavors are made separately, so you can enjoy them on their own or as chocolate snickerdoodle dessert hummus. Just blend together chickpeas, flavorings, and a little bit of milk and you’re ready for a sweet, healthy snack time.
How to enjoy dessert hummus
Dip your chocolate snickerdoodle hummus with strawberries, banana, or pretzels.
Spread on a slice of toast or crackers.
Dunk with a spoon and eat straight out of the bowl.
Do with dessert hummus what you would with savory hummus: enjoy it!
