I loooove hummus. In fact, I think it’s a major reason I’ve been able to transition into a life without cheese without feeling deprived. Chickpeas, the main ingredient in traditional hummus, don’t bother my stomach, but I know for a lot of people they’re synonymous with gas and bloating. This edamame hummus recipe is for you. And for everyone else—it’s yummy regardless.

As with all hummuses (hummi? — my autocorrect is saying “hummuses” but my heart is saying “hummi”), this green snack is versatile. Use it as a dip for pita chips, baby carrots or crackers. Add a big dollop of it to Buddha bowls and salads. You can also use it as a sandwich or wrap spread (I’m going to share a delicious use for it next week involving nori wraps!). Make a batch of this edamame hummus at the beginning of the week and then store in the refrigerator to have on hand for a quick snack.

If edamame hummus doesn’t tickle your fancy, I’ve got a bunch of other variations in the archives you’ll love. I’d start with Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus, Zesty Lemon Artichoke Hummus or Roasted Carrot Hummus. All are fun variations if you want to get creative with your snacking options.

Hope you all are enjoying a lovely weekend! The Ag Fair is in town on the Vineyard so it’s always a fun few days, and I love having Joe on island. We spend every day together literally bumping into each other in a tiny-ass apartment in Boston so it’s weird to now go 5+ days at a time without seeing him.

Fudgy Chai Blender Muffins (Vegan)

September 18, 2017 by 6 Comments

These fudgy chai blender muffins are vegan and gluten-free. Make them with or without a vanilla glaze.

In one of my monthly Favorite Things posts, I mentioned the Flourless Banana Blender Muffins recipe from the Chocolate Covered Katie blog. I’m obsessed with them and I can’t recommend trying Katie’s recipe highly enough. These fudgy chai blender muffins with a vanilla glaze are my twist on her original delicious muffins.

The one (non) issue for me with the original recipe is that I seriously eat the entire batch in one day. Something about the added chai spice of today’s version makes it a lot easier to have just one or two and then be done. Don’t get me wrong—these chai blender muffins are DELICIOUS—but it’s like comparing chocolate chip cookie dough to gingerbread cookie dough. I’m satisfied with a finger lick of the latter. I could eat the entire bowl of the former.

The vanilla glaze drizzle is totally optional. These are delicious with or without it. The glaze is a nice touch when you plan to eat these as a healthier dessert, but if you want them for breakfast or a make-ahead snack, you could definitely skip it.

If you’re expecting the fluffy, bready texture of a traditional muffin, know that these are a bit different. The tops will have a satisfying hardness to them while the insides with be dense and fudgy. I can’t get enough of the texture!

If you give these a try, let me know what you think! And be sure to check out Chocolate Covered Katie for the original recipe.

Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus

This roasted sweet potato hummus is a delicious twist on the traditional. Use it as a dip or sandwich spread.

This roasted sweet potato hummus recipe was originally posted to the blog in 2013, but was deserving of new photography so I’m re-publishing it today with new text and pictures. I eat it with pita chips, fruit (apple slices + this hummus = heaven) and veggies, and also spread it on sandwiches like this one.

This is one of those snacks I make so often I don’t even need to look at the recipe anymore. It’s so yummy! Hummus is something I always have in the refrigerator and while I don’t make my own every week, when I do, 9 times out of 10 it’s this roasted sweet potato version.

For everyone with today off, hope you’re enjoying a fun long weekend! The weather has been uh-mazing these last couple days! I’m down in New Jersey visiting Joe’s family, but we’re heading back to Boston later today.

Do you have a favorite hummus variation?
