Ingredients
Buffalo Chickpea Dip Ingredients
- 1 15oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Green onions (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the dip evenly.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, plain Greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese to a food processor. Pulse the mixture until it is well combined and creamy but still has some texture.
- Bake the Dip: Transfer the blended mixture to a small baking dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven, top with chopped green onions if desired for a fresh, bright flavor, and serve warm with your favorite dippers.
Notes
- If you prefer a smoother texture, pulse the mixture longer in the food processor.
- The dip can be made ahead and refrigerated; reheat before serving.
- Adjust the buffalo sauce amount according to your preferred spice level.
- Serve with celery sticks, tortilla chips, or crusty bread for dipping.
