Homemade Chickpea Dip (Hummus) — A Soft Snack for 2 Years
Made with peeled chickpeas, tahini and olive oil, this smooth hummus offers a soft, nourishing snack for your 2-year-old. Serve it with soft bread or steamed vegetable sticks.
⚠️ Contains allergens: sesame
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Cooked chickpeas (skins removed)
- 1 teaspoon Tahini
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1-2 tablespoons Warm water (to adjust texture)
Directions
- 1
Boil the chickpeas well (or use cooked chickpeas) and gently remove their skins; this makes the texture smoother and lowers the choking risk.
- 2
Put the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil and lemon juice in a bowl.
- 3
Using a hand blender or a fork, blend to a smooth, flowing texture, adding the warm water little by little.
- 4
If it is too thick for your child, add a little more warm water until it is soft and spoonable.
- 5
Serve at room temperature — with soft bread or steamed vegetable sticks, or with a spoon, under your supervision.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
With its plant protein, fibre and iron, chickpea can be a valuable part of a varied diet; tahini adds healthy fats and a little calcium. Its smooth texture can help a 2-year-old eat easily with a spoon or by dipping soft sticks.
Maiyko's note
At Maiyko we like to keep snacks simple, natural and respectful of your child's pace; choose organic chickpeas and freshly squeezed lemon where you can. Peel the chickpeas and mash well for a smooth texture, and serve under your supervision to prevent choking.
