Brownie Batter Hummus

May 27, 2016May 21, 2017 Melissa King 48 Comments

The other day in my Facebook group, someone shared a picture of this Brownie Batter Hummus. It looked seriously good. I knew I wanted to create a homemade version. You know I love a recipe challenge! 🙂

You may also want to check out my copycat Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs or my Homemade Ding Dongs.

My Brownie Batter Hummus only contains 4 simple ingredients and super easy to make!! It only takes a few minutes to mix up.

You guys! This stuff is GOOD! I wanted to just eat it with a spoon! This brownie batter hummus would be great with fruit or graham crackers. You can also spread it on toast, waffles or pancakes.

Or you can be like me and just eat it with a spoon! This hummus is healthy and it also comes with a boost of protein and fiber. It’s vegan, gluten free and grain free. It can easily be made nut free as well.

No Bake Snickerdoodle Truffles (Vegan)

Put these No Bake Snickerdoodle Truffles on your must make list! When I was shopping at Whole Foods the other day, they were giving out samples of these vegan snickerdoodle truffles.

While they were very delicious, the ingredients were definitely not the healthiest. So when I got home, I set out to make my own version and I think they came out pretty good.

If you love truffles, you must also check out these dark chocolate raspberry truffles, and these pecan caramel truffles.

This healthier truffle recipe contains only 6 simple ingredients and requires no baking! It’s also vegan, gluten free and paleo approved.

I plan on taking them to my neighborhood wine party this weekend and I hope they will be a hit.

Homemade Ding Dongs

3 words for you. Homemade Ding Dongs. The other day in my Facebook group, a member posted a pic of some store bought Ding Dongs from Whole Foods. She asked if I could make a homemade version and I gladly accepted the challenge! I love the challenge of making copycat recipes. Just try my Gluten Free Samoas or my Grain Free Twix Bars for yourself. Unlike the store bought one, my version is free of refined sugar, gluten, eggs and dairy!

I got a little over-zealous and took the photograph before I added the chocolate coating. I will definitely make sure to add those instructions in the recipe though. I hope you enjoy these Homemade Ding Dongs as much as we did! The recipe is a little involved, but totally worth it.

Chocolate Rice Crispy Squares. Rice crispy treats are one of those iconic recipes from childhood. Well, I just gave them a major upgrade with these easy Chocolate Rice Crispy Squares.

I love this recipe because it only contains simple ingredients. It also only takes a few minutes to prepare.

If you love chocolate, you may also want to try my fudgy flourless brownies and my chocolate coffee cheesecake.

These delicious chocolate bars are vegan and gluten free. They can easily be made nut free by using sunflower butter in place of the cashew butter.

I used brown rice cereal in this recipe. Only ingredient is brown puffed rice. You should be able to find it at any health food store. I have also seen it at Target on occasion.

Chocolate Coffee Cheesecake. Who doesn’t like chocolate and coffee together? If you love them both, then you will LOVE this chocolate coffee vegan cheesecake.

It has 3 levels of chocolate for the chocolate lover in your life. In my case, the chocolate lover is my husband and I think he is going to devour this!

You can also use mini muffin tins to make individual portions. They freeze very well, so you can stash some way back in your freezer when you want a sweet treat.
