INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

This is the kind of breakfast that makes mornings feel a little fancier than they actually are. Creamy vanilla yogurt, perfectly chilled, topped with fresh banana, kiwi, and passion fruit for that sweet-tart balance, plus a generous spoonful of homemade granola that’s golden, crunchy, and packed with chewy dried fruit. It’s fresh, naturally sweet, and can easily be prepped ahead, ideal for busy mornings or lazy Sundays.

How to serve
This bowl is best served cold, straight from the fridge. For the perfect bite, get a little bit of everything on your spoon: creamy yogurt, juicy fruit, and crunchy granola. Want to level it up? Drizzle some almond butter on top or add a sprinkle of coconut flakes for an extra tropical twist. If you’re feeling fancy, serve it in a chilled bowl for that extra-refreshing vibe. Morning coffee on the side? Always a good idea.

How to store
The granola keeps for weeks in an airtight container, so make a big batch ahead of time. The yogurt and fruit are best assembled fresh, but you can pre-chop the fruit and store it in the fridge for a quick grab-and-go breakfast. Just add everything together when you’re ready to eat!

ABOUT THE RECIPE

If you’ve never tried sweet hummus before, this one’s about to change your life. Imagine the rich, fudgy taste of brownie batter but in a smooth, creamy dip that also happens to be good for you. No refined sugar, no weird additives, just simple ingredients blending into pure chocolatey magic. Whether you’re dipping fruit, spreading it on toast, or eating it straight from the jar (I see you), this is your new go-to for a guilt-free chocolate fix.

How to serve
Swipe it onto warm toast, pair it with strawberries, banana slices, or apple wedges, or go all in and dunk some pretzels for that sweet-salty combo. Feeling extra? Stir it into oatmeal, drizzle it over pancakes, or layer it in a yogurt parfait for a next-level treat.

How to store
Store your chocolate hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, but let’s be real, it won’t last that long. If it thickens up, just stir in a splash of plant milk to bring back that creamy goodness. Freezing? Not recommended, it’s best fresh!

  • Total Time: 25 min
  • Yield: 4-6 1x

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • two small bowls
  • piping bag
  • large pan

Ingredients

Units Scale

PANCAKE BATTER

  • 1 egg
  • 55 grams neutral oil
  • 1 tbsp white sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 250 milliliter full-fat milk
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 200 grams all-purpose flour
  • 12 tbsp butter for frying

CINNAMON SWIRL

  • 60 grams butter
  • 50 grams brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

  • 100 grams cream cheese
  • 1.5 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 20 grams powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. For the pancake batter, whisk the egg with sugar, canola oil, salt, and milk in a large bowl until well combined. Then add the flour and baking powder, and mix everything thoroughly with a whisk until you get a smooth batter. Set the batter aside briefly.
  2. For the cinnamon swirl, combine the room-temperature soft butter (don’t melt it in the microwave or on the stove, otherwise, the consistency will be too runny, and the swirl will lose its shape when cooked) with brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Put the mixture into a piping bag or a plastic bag and set it aside.
  3. For the frosting, mix powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk, and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth. Add a little more milk if you need a runnier consistency. Set this aside as well.
  4. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add a small piece of butter. Once the butter forms small bubbles, spoon 1-1.5 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the pan. Let them cook briefly until the pancakes start forming small bubbles around the edges.
  5. Now, cut a small hole in the piping bag with the butter-sugar-cinnamon mixture. Pipe the mixture onto the pancakes in a swirl pattern. Cover the pan with a lid and let the pancakes finish cooking on the lowest heat setting until fully cooked through. Important: Don’t flip the pancakes! Otherwise, the swirl will disappear.
  6. Carefully remove the finished pancakes from the pan, spread them with the cream cheese frosting, and enjoy!
