Low-Sal Peanut Butter Hummus

One 15 ounce can organic chickpeas 

1 cup cooked red lentils (optional)

3/4 cup Jif No Sugar peanut butter (sunbutter would work here also)

1/4 cup golden syrup 

2 tsp vanilla 

3 TB oat milk (or other milk you can tolerate)

Combine chickpeas, lentils, and peanut butter in food processor. Give it a few pulses to mix contents. Once mixture is beginning to form, add in one TB milk. Process until mixture appears smooth. Add golden syrup and vanilla. Process again, adding milk one tablespoon at a time until hummus is the consistency you like.

Serve with golden delicious apples, banana slices, or celery.

This recipe can take a lot of variations. I added lentils just for the extra protein and fiber. It can be made without. The type of nut butter can also be changed. You could add a teaspoon of cacao powder or dark chocolate chips if you wanted to.

Remember that sulfite and salicylate intolerances and allergies are fickle! What works for one may not be tolerated by another. I hope that this might give you something tasty and somewhat healthy to eat!
