If they can make caffeinated chickpeas, I'll be having a Hummus breakfast more often.

If they are suggesting a decaf alternative, they should go back to figure out why coffee.

Hummus is good for breakfast regardless...

But I just imagined coffee flavored hummus and the flavor profile made me a bit nauseous.

What if you had it with uh, like a sweet cinnamon roll, or coffee cake chips/donut chips? (As opposed to pita bread or pita chips). Maybe the right fruit?

Still sounds like a tough sell.

I mean... I dunno, I could be being closed minded, but hummus to me is zesty and savory... I have a hard time switching it to a sweet...

Here's a thought...

Have you had sweet potato casserole where the sweet potatoes are pureed and it has candied nuts and almost a brown sugar crust? Maybe something like that...but then it wouldn't really be hummus lol

Fair, but if they're calling this chickpea soup coffee, I can call my sweet chickpea dip hummus.

Just like I can call avocado ice cream frozen guacamole.

Lmao I like the way you think, neighbor.

In reality it would just be chickpeas and tahini, with the garlic, lemon juice and salt omitted.

Then one could add honey to make it sweet, and maybe cinnamon, vanilla or nutmeg.

End result would be a bit like a soft, spreadable halva.

That makes sense..

Not to detract from what you're saying, but changing subjects slightly... have you ever had honey garlic? It is an absolutely wonderful flavor profile and I'm not certain we should discount it from our "sweet hummus" thought experiment lol

[–] apis@beehaw.org 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I haven't, though garlic is rather sweet anyhow, so can imagine how it might be.

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Check out how to make fermented garlic honey, you won't regret it.

[–] apis@beehaw.org 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Slightly unclear from the change in word order, but is this a variety of garlic which happens to have a distinct honey flavour, a honey infused with fermented garlic, or a fermented blend of honey & garlic?
