Sunflower Seed Dessert Hummus

by | Updated: January 29th, 2019 | Read time: 1 minute

What’s for dessert? Hummus! Instead of savory garlic or roasted peppers, this version of dessert hummus offers the rich, sweet and creamy flavors of sunflower seed butter, cinnamon and honey. A few tablespoons of aquafaba (the liquid in a can of chickpeas), add a luxurious creaminess that you’ll want to eat it right off the spoon. In case you prefer to dip, we recommend serving this hummus with slices of freshly cut apples and pears.
