Sweet & Smoky Flaxseed Hummus
Servings: 16 ounces
Ingredients
- 1 15-oz can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice (about one orange worth)
- 3 tablespoons Healthworks Ground Flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 cloves garlic minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 teaspoon orange zest (about half of an orange worth)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon liquid smoke
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Blend for about 30 seconds or until ingredients are incorporated.
- Scrape the sides down and continue blending for another 1-2 minutes, or until you've reached your desired consistency.
Notes
For a smoother hummus, remove the skins of each chickpea before blending. I NEVER do this, but it's an option if you want to be fancy!
If your hummus is too thick or not blending properly, slowly add a spoonful or two of water while the blender is running to thin it out or get things moving.
For a little extra sweetness, drizzle another spoonful of maple syrup on top before serving.
