I’m all about all types of pumpkin recipes from pumpkin cake to pumpkin stuffed dates to pumpkin white russians. And now this savory pumpkin dip hummus. It combines the best of the pumpkin and hummus worlds to create a flavorful pumpkin hummus spread.

This pumpkin hummus isn’t a sweet dessert type of hummus. It is savory with tahini, cumin and garlic seasoning. But it also has a hint of maple syrup which brings out the pumpkin, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon flavors in the recipe.

Step by step instructions

It’s simple! Put everything into a blender or food processor and mix until smooth!

I use a blender because it is bigger than a food processor.

Taste and then tweak your hummus with spices, tahini, lemon juice, or maple syrup to your taste. ( I like the recipe as is, but feel free to make it your own).

Expert tips

  • Don’t add cold water to this recipe: cold water is known to make hummus fluffy but because pumpkin already has a higher water content, adding water makes it too watery.
  • Use organic canned pumpkin.
  • Add more maple syrup to make it sweeter.
  • Add less maple syrup to make it less sweet: but if you add less, then you won’t taste the pumpkin flavor as much, just FYI.
  • Make your own pumpkin spice if you don’t have it: to make yours just combine ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cloves. I like this recipe for making your own.

What to eat with pumpkin hummus

Oh and don’t forget about toppings you can add on top of your hummus such as: pumpkin seeds, pomegranate seeds, olive oil, and spices.

FAQs

Can I make pumpkin hummus without chickpeas?

Yes! You can use a can of white beans instead.

How long does pumpkin hummus last in refrigerator?

It will last 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

Is this pumpkin spice hummus sweet?

No, it is a savory hummus. There is added maple syrup only because that gives it a pumpkin taste. Without the maple syrup, you can’t taste that this hummus has pumpkin in it.

What can I use instead of tahini?

You can use almond butter but it won’t have the same taste.
