Pumpkin Spice Hummus [Tastes Like Pumpkin Pie!]
Description
This Pumpkin Spice Hummus uses simply canned chickpeas combined with pumpkin puree and a balanced mix of pumpkin pie spices including cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Tahini or cashew butter adds creaminess and depth, while lemon juice provides acidity to brighten the flavors. Molasses or maple syrup sweeten the hummus to evoke the classic pumpkin pie taste.
The ingredients are processed in a food processor until smooth, with water added gradually to reach the desired consistency. The result is a thick, creamy spread that maintains the savory qualities of hummus while highlighting the sweet and warm spices of pumpkin pie seasoning.
For serving, the recipe suggests accompanying the hummus with sliced apples, strawberries, marshmallows, pretzels, graham crackers, or cookies, making it a versatile dip for snacks or as part of a dessert platter. Optional garnishes include chocolate chips, syrup drizzle, or brown sugar to enhance presentation and complement the flavor.
Using no-salt-added chickpeas is recommended to control seasoning. The hummus stores well for up to four days refrigerated in a sealed container. The recipe allows swapping pumpkin spice blends for individual spices, and encourages adjusting thickness by adding water slowly.
