Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup cooked garbanzo beans* (how to soak and cook dry beans) OR 1 can of garbanzo beans, strained and rinsed 3 times
- 3 1/2 – 4 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 Tbsp unsweetened baking cocoa
- 2 Tbsp water (optional)
Instructions

Notes
* I’ve tested this recipe with great northern beans, garbanzo beans and black beans. I prefer to use black beans since the “bean” flavor is more subtle and they produced a creamier texture, but you can really use whatever you happen to have.
* If you use canned beans and there’s salt already added, reduce the salt in this recipe to just a pinch.
** If you choose garbanzo beans, remove the skin from the bean first. You can do this by pinching the bean between your thumb and index finger, and the skin will peel off. This helps to create a creamier texture when using garbanzo beans.
