I have a new love for this funfetti cake batter dip. Anything that sneakily makes my kids eat chickpeas is a win for me.
I packed this dip in a container for a quick beach trip and it was delightful to snack on. It’s a dip that can go from a picnic to a potluck and be a crowd pleaser no matter the occasion.
Plus, I mean, those sprinkles make me real happy. Dessert dips don’t get the love they deserve. I’m here to change that!
Ingredients for healthy funfetti dip:
Cooked Chickpeas. I just use good old fashioned canned chickpeas. Make sure to drain them and rinse them!
Cashew Butter. This gives the dip a great creamy flavor. Plus, I really like cashew butter because it’s super mellow. You can sub another nut or seed butter, but just keep in mind the cake batter dip may take on more of the flavor whereas with cashew butter you don’t really have that issue.
Agave Nectar. This is what we’re using to sweeten up our dip! You can sub in honey or maple syrup if you prefer!
Coconut Sugar. Gives it a little extra caramel sweetness that will give it more of a cake vibe.
Vanilla Extract. Will give this dip that iconic vanilla cake batter flavor!
Blanched Almond Flour. This will give our dip a bit more structure. I always use blanched super fine almond flour because it has a more pastry, cake color compared to an almond meal. Plus, almond meal is a lot heartier with more texture whereas super fine almond flour will give you a smoother result.
Salt. To bring all the flavors together.
Sprinkles. Mandatory. Period.
