- 1/3 cup runny almond butter (or other nut/seed butter)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- Adjust consistency: If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of non-dairy milk gradually to reach a creamy, spreadable consistency.
- Chill the hummus: Transfer the hummus to a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and to cool the dip, enhancing its brownie batter taste.
