    i soak my chickpeas.. you can eat them that way to they get soft and crunchy, but you can cook them and they are beautiful after soaking.

    I can't believe I almost forgot to share this one. I know it sounds strange but it is amazing with apples and carrots.

    Snickerdoodle Hummus

    This is amazing! It tastes and smells just like snickerdoodle cookies!

    Ingredients

    1 (15 oz) can Chickpeas
    2 Tbsp Almond Butter (roasted & Creamy)
    2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
    1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
    1/2 tsp Cinnamon, Ground

    Directions

    Drain chickpeas reserving liquid. Place chickpeas in a food processor along with almond butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pulse for about 1 minute until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Slowly drizzle in reserved liquid (you will not need all of it, approx. 1/3 cup) until the dip is smooth and desired consistency. Transfer to a bowl and serve with apple slices and graham crackers. Try carrots too, taste like glazed carrots. Store in the refrigerator.

    Makes about 1-1/2 cups; 12 – 2 Tbsp servings.

    I love all 4 of these recipes. And although it definitely takes forever and is tedious, I've found the only way to get super-creamy hummus is to peel the canned chickpeas.

    Tip: sit down in front of the tv with your chickpeas and 2 empty bowls - pop the shells into one bowl and the shelled chickpeas into the other while you're watching tv. It makes it go SO MUCH FASTER.

    This a a no fail recipe.. My husband is Lebanese and I got this one from his family.. The yogurt helps give it that smooth creamy texture but you can not taste it.




    1/4 Cup Yogurt plain
    1 15oz or 16oz can Garbonzo Beans (chick peas)
    1/2 Cup Tahini (sesame seed paste)
    1/3 Cup Lemon Juice
    2-3 Cloves of Garlic
    1/2 Tsp of Salt

    Put all ingredients in a food processor and process til smooth
