Ingredients
Scale
Hummus Base
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned)
- 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)
Finishing
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly. Gather the pumpkin puree, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, ground cumin, and kosher salt.
- Blend all except olive oil: Add the chickpeas, pumpkin puree, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, ground cumin, and kosher salt into the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender.
- Add olive oil while blending: Begin blending the mixture, and after about 30 seconds, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil to help emulsify and create a smooth texture.
- Blend to smoothness: Continue blending for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure an even consistency.
- Optional ice cubes for creaminess: Toward the end of blending, optionally add 1 to 2 ice cubes to the mixture and blend briefly to achieve an even creamier texture.
- Serve and enjoy: Transfer the pumpkin hummus to a serving bowl, optionally drizzle with a little olive oil or sprinkle with additional pumpkin pie spice. Serve with pita bread, crackers, or fresh veggies.
Notes
- You can adjust the pumpkin pie spice and salt to taste for a personalized flavor balance.
- Adding ice cubes is optional but recommended for a lighter, creamier hummus.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For a nuttier flavor, try roasting the garlic before adding it to the blender.
- This hummus is perfect for fall-themed gatherings or as a nutritious snack any time of year.
