Creamy Pumpkin Hummus is the perfect fall appetizer or snack. Chickpeas, pumpkin, tahini, orange juice, maple syrup and spices mix together to create a creamy, vegan dip. You will love this fall spin on hummus. I like to pair this with pita, crackers, pretzels, veggies or pear slices.

CREAMY PUMPKIN HUMMUS

Creamy Pumpkin Hummus is the perfect healthy appetizer to celebrate fall!

This savory hummus is a beautiful color of orange and would be perfect at a tailgate, before trick or treating or after school snack with sweet apples and pears or pita bread.

Hummus is so easy to make in a food processor and only takes about 5 minutes to make.

I like to garnish my pumpkin hummus with pumpkin seeds, rosemary and pomegranate seeds.

This recipe features garbanzo Beans, canned pumpkin, tahini, fresh squeezed orange juice and warm spices.

HOW DO YOU MAKE CREAMY PUMPKIN HUMMUS

PREPARE THE CHICKPEAS: Drain the chickpea liquid into a bowl and set aside. Rinse the chickpeas.

BLEND THE HUMMUS INGREDIENTS: In a food processor combine the chickpeas, pumpkin, olive oil, tahini, orange juice, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, syrup and garlic.

Process all the ingredients until smooth. Add some of the chickpea liquid if the hummus it too thick and blend until smooth. Transfer to a serving platter or bowl.

REFRIGERATE: Refrigerate for two hours before serving if you can.

ADD GARNISHES & SERVE: Garnish with pumpkin seeds and pomegranate seeds. Serve with pita chips, apples, pretzels or pears.

RECIPE TIPS AND MODIFICATIONS

SPICES: The spices I used can be change to other options like cinnamon, cloves and allspice, a more mild spice like Italian seasoning or even chili powder for a bit of a kick.

CREAMY HUMMUS: I like my hummus creamy. To create an extra creamy hummus try adding a couple of ice cubes to the food processor while you blend.

CHICKPEA LIQUID: If your hummus needs thinned out at all try using the liquid from the chickpeas, olive oil or a bit of water. I add it while the food processor is blending so I can gauge how much is needed.

HOW TO USE THIS HUMMUS: We love using hummus in veggie, hummus or rice bowls. Try it in this Sweet Potato Hummus, Easy Mediterranean Hummus or this Mediterranean Buddha Bowl.
