In my quest to incorporate more beans into the family diet, I decided to make a bean-based dessert. This is not my first endeavor in beany desserts. Remember the black bean brownies?
So good!
I had to cut my phone conversation with my dad short the other night, because I was in the middle of making cookies.
He asked, "They're not made with pummus or something are they?" Matter of fact, they ARE made with pummus (he means hummus), Dad!
He knows me so well :)
Anyway, I've seen different versions of dessert hummus balls all over the internet, but the one I liked best was at Purple Bird Blog.
She has much prettier pictures, including pics of all the ingredients. I just whipped all my ingredients together, put everything away, threw away the empty can, and then remembered to take pics. Sorry.
I split the batter and made two versions. The batter in the yellow bowl has chocolate chips, the batter in the green bowl doesn't.
Mine, all baked and yummy, ready to eat.
Trinity's
I didn't make these exactly the way Christin did, but adapted them a bit.
My version:
1 can garbanzo beans rinsed
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1/4 cup Bob's red mill gluten free all purpose baking flour
8 packets Stevia in the Raw
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp almond milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
chocolate chips-optional
1* blend all together until you have a doughy consistency.
2*scoop out dough and form into balls
3*bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes
Pretty healthy as far as I'm concerned: The ones without chocolate chips are sugar,dairy,egg,cholesterol, and gluten free. Both versions are Full of fiber, iron, protein, and calcium.

Awww, so happy you made them! Your version sounds absolutely delish too... I love the cinnamon! Miss you, sweet lady! xo
ReplyDeletePummus balls has a certain ring to it. ;)
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Christin's hummus cookies! Loved! I made them several times. But I'd eat them all if not careful. ;) I still need to try black bean brownies! Maybe that's next!
