Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 15oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Green onions (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the dip evenly.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas, plain Greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Pulse the mixture until it is well combined but still slightly chunky for texture.
  3. Bake the Dip: Transfer the blended mixture into a small baking dish, spreading it evenly. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the dip is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and top with sliced green onions if desired for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve warm with chips, crackers, or veggies.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add more buffalo sauce or a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • You can substitute plain Greek yogurt with sour cream if preferred.
  • Make sure to rinse and drain chickpeas well to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
  • This dip can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • Serve with fresh vegetables, pita chips, or tortilla chips for dipping.
