Essential Ingredients for Vegan Pumpkin Hummus

Here’s what you’ll need to gather for this gorgeous dip. It’s a short list! You’ll want:

• 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (make sure it’s pure pumpkin, not pie filling)
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• 2 tablespoons water, or as needed for desired consistency

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

Choosing the right pumpkin puree is key. Always grab 100% pure pumpkin puree. Avoid pumpkin pie filling; it has added sugar and spices we don’t need. Don’t have pumpkin pie spice? No worries! You can mix cinnamon, ginger, and a pinch of nutmeg. Adjust the spice level to your liking. If water isn’t your thing, a splash of unsweetened almond milk works too. It still keeps our hummus creamy and delicious.

Step-by-Step Guide to Vegan Pumpkin Hummus

Getting this hummus just right is super easy. First, grab your food processor. Add the drained chickpeas. Then, spoon in the pumpkin puree. Next, add the tahini and fresh lemon juice. Don’t forget the minced garlic and that cozy pumpkin pie spice. Sprinkle in the salt. Drizzle in the olive oil. Now, close the lid and process everything. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. This helps everything blend evenly. Keep processing until it’s nice and smooth. With the processor still running, slowly add water. Add it a tablespoon at a time. Do this until you reach your perfect creamy consistency. Give it a taste. Adjust salt or spice if you like. That’s it! Your amazing vegan pumpkin hummus is ready.
