Pumpkin Spice Hummus
👀 Did someone say… Pumpkin Spice HUMMUS? 🧡 ‘Cause pumpkin spice ain’t just for the lattes 😉 MAKE THIS and thank me later!
Hummus is one of those things that does everything: It spreads, it sandwiches, it pastas, it dips, it wraps. So why not put a seasonal spin on a traditional hummus recipe and make it the perfect addition to your fall foodie arsenal?
JUMP TO RECIPEINGREDIENTS
In addition to the essential ingredients in any classic hummus recipe (like lemon juice, tahini, chickpeas and olive oil — I omitted the latter to make it less calorie dense, but do use olive oil if oil-free ain’t your thing!) we’re adding a few fall touches to this Pumpkin Spice Hummus:
- Pumpkin Purée: Adds a lovely smooth texture, beautiful orange hue, and delicious pumpkin-y flavour.
- Maple Syrup: To help bring out the spicy, tangy and savoury flavours (plus it’s just plain delicious!).
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: The unmistakable warming combo of Cinnamon, Ginger, Cloves, Allspice, Nutmeg, and Cardamom adds that quintessential fall flavour.
HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN SPICE HUMMUS
If you have a high-speed blender or good quality food processor, this Pumpkin Spice Hummus will come together in just a few minutes (so you can get back to your pumpkin spice latte, pronto!)
- Prep! Roast 1 whole bulb of garlic for 30 minutes, allowing it to be cool to the touch before handling. Rinse and drain 1 can of chickpeas.
- To the jug of a high-speed blender or food processor, add the chickpeas, pumpkin purée, tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, roasted garlic, pumpkin spice, olive oil (if using) and salt.
- Blend until smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides with a spatula and tampering the mixture down towards the blades as needed.
- Transfer to a bowl, garnish with additional pumpkin spice, maple syrup or olive oil (or all 3!). Enjoy!
MAKE YOUR OWN PUMPKIN PIE SPICE BLEND THIS FALL!
It is so simple to whip up a batch of your own pumpkin pie spice that you can enjoy all autumn and winter long! Just grab yourself a jar and some bulk spices (that you likely already have), mix together and voila! Feel free to adjust any spice amounts to your liking.
- 5 tsp Cinnamon

PUMPKIN SPICE & EVERYTHING NICE
I firmly believe that some rules are meant to be broken, especially in the kitchen. Whoever said that the warm and comforting flavours of pumpkin spice are only meant for pies, lattes and baked goods clearly never thought of making Pumpkin Spice Hummus! This creamy, dreamy marriage of sweet, savoury, spicy and tangy makes this hummus so dang yummy and extra-perfect for all your autumn culinary festivities. 🍂
