Pumpkin Hummus with Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips

Pumpkin hummus is the perfect fall snack or dessert! Served with cinnamon sugar pita chips or apple slices, this sweet, yet healthy recipe is super easy to make in just 10 minutes!

The hummus is gluten free, vegan and high in protein, Vitamin A and calcium, making it a sweet treat that you can feel good about eating!

Hummus is one of my all time favorite healthy snacks! Whether I’m getting a little spicy with Sriracha Hummus or brightening things up with Beet Hummus, you can’t go wrong with this creamy chickpea dip!

Since I love squash, pumpkin spice and all things fall, I decided to make Pumpkin Hummus. It gets a little sweetness and spice from maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice, and all it’s creaminess from pureed pumpkin and chickpeas.

It couldn’t be easier to make. All you need is a blender or food processor and 10 minutes of your time, then this dip is ready to go! Serve it with apples for a healthy snack or indulge a little with some cinnamon sugar pita chips.

This dip is perfect for an after school snack, Halloween party or any fall get-together. I’ve made it for several parties over the years and it’s always a hit! People love the idea of a sweet hummus recipe, instead of the usual savory or spicy hummus varieties.

How to make Pumpkin Hummus

• Add chickpeas, pumpkin puree, tahini, maple syrup, olive oil and pumpkin pie spice to a food processor or blender.
  • Quick tip! Make sure to buy pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie filling when purchasing the canned pumpkin.
• Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Quick tip! If using a large food processor, you may have to scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times and puree again to incorporate all of the ingredients together. If the hummus seems too thick and needs more liquid, add 1-2 tbsp water.
• Place in the refrigerator to chill for 30-60 minutes before serving.

How long can you store pumpkin hummus in the refrigerator?

Pumpkin hummus will stay good in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
