Instructions
 

  1. Rinse and drain your chickpeas.
  2. Add all ingredients except the water into the blender making sure the chickpeas and other wet ingredients are closest to the blade while the basil is on top, furthest from the blade.
  3. Begin pulsing or blending on low.
  4. Add water slowly while blending (or in between pulses if your blender does not have a hole in the top).
  5. Continue blending until smooth, spreadable consistency is reached.
  6. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Not vegan? Add parmesan cheese into the blender or sprinkled on top for some extra flavor.
  2. Want more protein? Add pine nuts or pumpkin seeds before blending.
  3. Oil-free? Omit the oil and add more water when blending.
