Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the dip.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, plain Greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese into a food processor. Pulse until all ingredients are well combined but still slightly chunky for texture.
  3. 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 the top starts to bubble slightly.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and top with chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to blend smoothly with other ingredients.
  • If you prefer less spice, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce or use a milder version.
  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
  • This dip can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • Serve with celery sticks or carrot sticks for a classic buffalo flavor pairing.
