I love basil and I love avocado, so I combined the two! I can eat tubs and tubs full of this hummus, luckily it’s low in oil, high in fibre and has added moringa.
The natural fat of the avocado makes this recipe creamy and therefor you need less oil so also perfect for little ones.
I added a little water to my recipe because I cooked dried chickpeas instead of using a can of chickpeas, I recommend not using canned chickpeas but if you do, to not add the water. You can add a little of the aquafaba as you go to your desired consistency.
If you are unfamiliar with Moringa I recommend reading this article: 10 Powerful Health Benefits Of Moringa Powder + How To Use It.
This hummus recipe is:
Creamy
Silky
Smooth
Insanely satisfying
& perfect on a cracker, piece of toast or spelt wrap!
If you rub the chickpeas in a clean tea towel the skins will come off pretty easily. More easily if you use canned chickpeas.
Add all the ingredients to a food processor or blender.
I store my hummus in recycled air tight glass containers in the fridge for up to three days.
Have you ever tried smoked paprika hummus? It’s delicious, you can find the recipe here.
