    Pumpkin Hummus

    Our Pumpkin Hummus is a great appetizer recipe for the pumpkin lovers in your life! Serve with pita chips or veggies on the side, it makes the perfect fall snack!

    Pumpkin Hummus is the perfect appetizer for all of us pumpkin fans. Personally, I cannot get enough of pumpkin. I love pumpkin spice everything. While this isn’t a sweet hummus, the pumpkin works really well in this savory hummus giving it a really rich flavor. We love serving it with our baked pita chips, and veggies like carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers. Any crudité will do!

    How do you make Pumpkin Hummus?

    One of the things we love about this recipe is that all the ingredients just get thrown into a food processor and blended well. That’s it! If you want to get fancy, you can top your pumpkin hummus with some pumpkin seeds or sesame seeds. If you want to get really creative you can top your with some edible flowers.

    What do you eat Pumpkin Hummus with?

    We like serving our recipe with baked pita chips, but crudité is also perfect. We recommend carrots, celery, and bell peppers. You can really serve it with anything you would serve with regular hummus.  We also like to serve our recipe with really seedy crackers.

    Canned Pumpkin

    We used canned pumpkin puree in our recipe, but you can certainly roast your own pumpkin if you want to! We are die hard fans of Libby’s. If you don’t want to use canned pumpkin, you can find directions for roasting your own pumpkin in our recipe for Roasted Pumpkin Hummus.

    Tips and tricks

    If you want your hummus to be a bit looser, you can add more coconut oil. If you don’t have coconut oil on hand, thats ok. Extra virgin olive oil will work great. You can store it covered in your refrigerator for up to four days, which makes this a great recipe for entertaining because you can easily make it ahead!

      OMG, what took me so long to try this?? I had it saved a long time ago and this morning was looking for a way to use up some leftover pumpkin puree. This is SO tasty and unique. I know what I’ll be bringing to the Thanksgiving feast this year…

      Love this. It is now spring and I still have pumpkin in the freezer. I eat Hummus when I crave sweets. It works for me but it does mean I make a ton of hummus.

      I hope your kitty got better. I had to put mine to sleep before Christmas but I would have been vary upset if someone had said that to me that.

      I’m pretty sure I have all these ingredients, which means I have to make it, right??! I’m pretty impressed that you turn to hummus on those days…when I feel like grumpy cat I usually want the cookies, cakes, or anything unhealthy!

      I’ve made a couple of different kinds of hummus but never pumpkin – this looks so good and perfect for autumn/hallowe’en. I will make this!

      Wow, I don’t think I would have been able to restrain myself had anyone said that to me. Plus, being at the vet with a sick kitty stresses you out even more!

      I have to make this. I can’t even imagine what hummus will taste like with pumpkin!

        She was literally crazy. She brought in a cat to see if it had a microchip, which it did, and then was sayings things like “oh he’s better off with me anyway! They lost him!” Insane cat lady if I ever saw one.

      I am going to try this with butternut squash. I bought a bag of frozen butternut squash (I hate cutting that big thing!) and I haven’t been inspired lately with something new and was going to resort to the traditional butternut squash soup! (Although that isn’t bad either!)

      This hummus looks divine – I’ve never had pumpkin hummus but I love both pumpkin AND hummus so I’m excited to give it a try! I hope you can relax on your vacation! <3

      In your head were you all "MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO LET GO!?" to that lady? Because I probably would've went full rageface on her. True story. Some people…

        That would have been a perfectly acceptable response, in my opinion. I was wondering how kitty was doing; sorry to hear “still ill.” My thoughts are still with you!
