Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (to brown)
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas (canned, rinsed)
  • 1 small carrot, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves (packed)
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat or gluten-free wraps)
  • Optional: thinly sliced cucumber or apple for crunch

Instructions

  1. Place 1/4 cup unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Let it melt and bubble, swirling the pan gently. After 4-5 minutes, when the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty, remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the browned butter (cooled slightly), 1/2 cup almond butter, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract if using, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until smooth and fully combined. Set aside.
  3. In a food processor, add 1 cup cooked chickpeas, chopped carrot, fresh spinach, 2 tablespoons tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  4. Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave for 10 seconds to make them pliable for rolling.
  5. Lay a tortilla flat. Spread a thin, even layer of the brown butter almond butter mixture over half the tortilla. On the other half, spread a generous layer of the hidden veggie hummus. Optionally, add thin slices of cucumber or apple on top of the hummus for crunch.
  6. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one side to the other, creating a log shape. Slice into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  7. Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper for later. These pinwheels hold up well for a few hours, perfect for packed lunches or snacks.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully while browning to avoid burning; swirl the pan gently instead of stirring. Pulse the hummus ingredients first to break down veggies, then blend continuously for creaminess. Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking. Pinwheels can be stored in the fridge up to 2 days wrapped tightly. For a warm version, toast pinwheels in a skillet or panini press until golden.
