Scale
Hummus Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 Tbsp tahini
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice (about half a large lemon)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp kosher salt (more to taste)
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Optional: 1-2 ice cubes for creaminess
Instructions
- Prepare Chickpeas and Ingredients: Drain and thoroughly rinse the canned chickpeas to remove any excess salt or canning liquid. Gather all ingredients except the olive oil and place them into the bowl of a food processor or a high-speed blender.
- Blend Ingredients: Start blending the mixture. After about 30 seconds, slowly drizzle in the olive oil while the machine runs. Keep blending for approximately 2 to 3 minutes until the hummus becomes completely smooth and creamy. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even blending.
- Add Ice Cubes for Extra Creaminess (Optional): Toward the end of blending, add 1 to 2 ice cubes to the hummus and continue blending until the desired creamy texture is achieved. This step is optional but recommended for a cooler, silkier dip.
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices.
- Adjust salt and spices according to taste preferences.
- The hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Serve with fresh vegetables, pita chips, or as a spread on sandwiches.
- For a smoother texture, peel the chickpeas before blending, though this is optional and time-consuming.
