My husband and I love spicy!  We have a jalapeno plant in the back yard that has produced so many peppers this summer.  And, of course, we eat all of them up!

I used to make jalapeno poppers with Toffuti “cream cheese” (which are a lot healthier than the traditional fried poppers with the greasy/fatty real cheese).  But, my husband suggested trying to make it even healthier.  So, he gave me the idea of hummus in the jalapeno, and I am so glad he did, because this is wonderful and delicious!

*Jalapeno peppers are very good for you.  It helps cure headaches, congestion, and it even helps fight off cancer!

*Garbanzo beans are also super healthy!

Ingredients:

• Fire Roasted Tomato Hummus
• 10 to 15 jalapenos
• 2/3 cup of unsweetened almond milk
• 1/5 cups of Panko bread crumbs
• 1 to 1.5 cups of whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp of salt

Directions:

1. Make hummus.
2. Preheat oven to 385 degrees.
3. Slice the top off the jalapenos, cut them in half (lengthwise), remove seeds and placenta.  Note: if you like REALLY spicy poppers, you can add the seeds and jalapeno placenta to your hummus.
4. Spoon hummus into jalapenos.
5. Dip the jalapeno in the unsweetened nut milk (almond milk).
6. Then, roll the jalapeno into the whole wheat flour.
7. Dip it into the nut milk again.
8. Then, roll into the panko bread crumbs.
9. Place onto a slightly greased cookie sheet.
10. Spray a little bit of olive oil onto the poppers (just a little bit!).
11. Bake for 25 minutes.
12. Enjoy!
