Pumpkin Pie Dessert Hummus

With the protein and fiber from the chickpeas, this totally counts as a healthy snack.

With the protein and fiber from the chickpeas, this totally counts as a healthy snack.

After making the pumpkin pie donut holes, I had a 3/4 full can of pumpkin left over. I’m not one to waste food, especially a yummy ingredient like pumpkin! I knew I had a can of chickpeas on hand- why not make pumpkin pie hummus!?

It’s creamy and tastes so much like pumpkin pie filling! A perfect dessert or snack in under 10 minutes! If you haven’t tried dessert hummus, this is a perfect place to start.

 I used apples for dipping. Graham crackers or chocolate chip cookies are an even sweeter option! like both of these for the allergen-friendly crunch Enjoy Life Crunchy Cookies & Pamela’s Honey Grahams.

Tidbit: For a creamier hummus, warm your chickpeas before blending! I used apples for dipping. Graham crackers or chocolate chip cookies are an even sweeter option! This made for a perfect snack with my lunch.

Enjoy!
