Pumpkin puree adds a vibrant hue and creamy texture to this easy and flavorful pumpkin hummus. And the best part - it's ready in just 10 minutes. Perfect for Fall snacking!
Hummus is hands down one of my all time favorite foods. I'm one of those people who buys a tiny container of it and before I know it, I've eaten the entire thing in one sitting. It's that good.
For that reason, I've mostly stopped buying pre-made hummus at the grocery store and instead making my own at home.
It's so cheap to make and you can make a huge batch, which makes it not quite as noticeable when you eat a lot of it 🙂
The other great thing about making your own hummus is that you can make whatever flavor you want!
I have a simple base recipe that I always use (chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon, salt) and then I love to mix it up and make fun hummus flavors.
Since it's now officially fall (yeah!) I thought it would be fun to make a pumpkin hummus.
An ingredient that is pretty high on my list of favorite things is curry powder. It gives such an amazing flavor to everything you put it in.
I feel like it almost has an addicting quality to it, you don't want to stop eating! It also has a nice warming aspect to it and I think it's perfect for fall.
Another reason I love hummus so much is because it's so versatile. You can have it as an appetizer with crackers and veggies, put it in a salad for a nice creamy bite, slather it onto a sandwich or even use it as a flatbread topping.
I hope you enjoy this easy pumpkin hummus as much as I do!
