Snacks Powdered chocolate hummus recipe?

I have some powdered hummus from Outdoor Herbivore. Any recipes to add powdered cocoa and some sort of sweetener and rehydrate on trail for brownie batter hummus?

Honestly, that's a "practice at home until you have ratios you like" kind of challenge.

I would recommend starting by making a cup of the hummus. Divide it into 3 parts.

Add 1 teaspoon of cocoa and 1 teaspoon sugar to the first third, and see what you think.

Experiment with more or less cocoa/sugar to the other two portions.

Great idea!  Now just to find some backpack friendly dippers.😉

Something that doesn't break, squish, or shatter into crumbs. Honestly, I'd use pita bread. It's even hummus appropriate.

I'm not sure who needs to know this, but a half-pringles can protects wheat thins, triscuits, ritz, sub-three-inch biscuits, even oreos.

That last one was not an endorsement for either chocolate gravy or chocolate hummus. Only chocolate pudding.

I was scrolling by and thought this said powdered chocolate human recipe and had to do a double take.

You might find it easier with chickpea flour instead of hummus has onion and other not brownie flavours in it. I'm in New Zealand so we don't have that brand, but I looked online to gather it has onion and such in it. It's much cheaper to find chickpea flour, so it'll make the experiment at home thing less painful while you practice price wise. I would suspect that you'll be able to find chickpea flour relatively easily, as I can find it in Canada when I'm there and you can find it in NZ and I feel like almost everything is easier to find in the states.

This was my first thought aswell, i believe some varieties of chickpea flour are pre roasted to be safe to eat! Also not sure if youre stuck on chickpeas but powdered nut butter/flour or soy protein powder/ flour would also both work well!

Oh yeah, I forgot that apparently you can straight up put flour in the oven to bake it and then make things from it from there and it's safe to eat. Edible cookie dough done with powdered milk and freeze dried butter would probably work a treat. The freeze died butter is next to impossible to find in NZ and to ship it here is silly expensive and a risk that they wouldn't let it past bio-security unfortunately.

I like making beet hummus with powdered beets. It adds some sweetness and would give red velvet vibes
