Serve your pumpkin spice hummus with a variety of fruit, crackers, and/or sweet treats. Some of my favourites are:

apple slices

pretzels
graham crackers
cookies

Or use your pumpkin pie hummus to top delicious baked goods like these chickpea brownies or apple bread!

Storage

Store your pumpkin pie hummus in a sealed container in your fridge for up to 4 days. If working ahead, skip the garnish until ready to serve.

You may freeze your hummus for up to 3 months in a freezer safe, air tight container.

Expert Tips

If you have a premixed pumpkin spice blend (and don’t have the individual seasonings) you may use 2 teaspoons of the mix instead.
Start processing without the water at first, so you can make your dip as thick or thin as desired.
Use no salt added chickpeas. If you don’t have no salt added, skip the salt called for in the recipe.
