- 1 cup fully cooked garbanzo beans (rinsed and drained if canned)
- 1/4-1/3 cup water
- Cinnamon or cumin, optional
Add the beans and 1/4 cup water to a blender.
Blend until very smooth, adding a little more water if needed to create a smooth puree.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or cumin for additional flavor. Serve on a spoon or spread onto a toast finger.
- Try this using garbanzo beans, white beans, black beans, or pinto beans.
- If using canned beans, choose a "no salt added" variety and rinse and drain the beans before making the puree.
- Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in an airtight container and stir before serving as some water may separate out.
- For calculating the nutrition, I use a 2 tablespoon serving, but a baby may eat less or more than that—it's all good!
