Sweet Pumpkin Hummus.

September 11, 2012 Post a comment

Hummus doesn’t always have to be savory.  I whipped this little dish up last fall, of course, pumpkin inspired, and I had to make it again.  I just love it!  My kids love it too with sliced apples.  In fact, I have it all ready for them when they get home from school.  Great snack and so healthy!  You have to give this one a whirl.

 

Ingredients:

1 -15oz can of chickpeas, drained and washed
1 heaping cup of pumpkin puree
1/4c nut butter (peanut, almond, cashew)
2 tbl coconut oil
2 tbl maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp honey
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp of freshly grated ginger
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt

Blend it all in your food processor until hummus consistency. Serve with apples, crackers, graham crackers, gingersnaps etc.

It is so creamy and has a hint of sweetness. Fixed the nut butter too :)

How did you fix the nut butter? In fact, how would you make it to begin with? Thanks in advance for any help!

I used already prepared nut butter.

Wow, did you come up with this all on your own? So creative! I’m intrigued- definitely adding it to the list of New Things to Try.

I just made this today and was stunned by how amazing it tastes! I always thought dessert hummus sounded a little strange, but this recipe is definitely a keeper. I could barely stop eating it with a spoon right after I made it!
