Is Pumpkin Pie Hummus Healthy?

Pumpkin Pie Hummus is quite healthy for you. It’s made of chickpeas! Which are, as we all know, pretty affordable and extremely beneficial. They are high in fiber, healthy fats, and a good source of plant protein. In addition, it contains pumpkin and ginger, both of which are highly nutritious and provide various health benefits. It’s sweetened naturally with maple syrup.

Vitamin A and beta-carotene-rich pumpkin pair well with chickpeas as a plant-based protein source, making it a highly healthy dessert. Both are high in fiber. Even though this recipe does not contain any low-carb ingredients, the slow-digesting carbohydrates in pumpkin and chickpeas help keep blood sugar levels stable and maintaining a healthy weight.

This fall, indulge in a healthier version of pumpkin pie!

 

Here are a couple of extra reasons to make pumpkin pie hummus if you’re still on the fence:

  • It’s vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free.
  • It’s equally delicious for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
  • It’s made in a blender/food processor and takes less than ten minutes (YAY!)
  • It can be flavored in a variety of ways to complement any season.
  • It tastes exactly like pie! Yes, I swear it does!
  • It’s the ideal way to satisfy your pumpkin pie cravings all year long without having to bake a pie!

How to Serve Pumpkin Pie Hummus?

When it comes to serving, this is a crowd-pleasing dip that’s perfect for parties and get-togethers. So to enjoy this unrivaled treat for a comforting and delicious fall snack try it out with these Dippers:

  • Apple or Pear slices
  • Pretzels
  • Digestive biscuits or Graham crackers
  • Baked Pita

Spread it on banana/pumpkin bread, muffins, toast, pancakes, or waffles if you have a sweet craving for breakfast.

It’s also fantastic as a frosting-like topping. Try it with stir fry Okra. It’s also delicious with roasted meat or grilled fish. Eat with a spoon (my favorite way).

How to Store Pumpkin Pie Hummus?

You can store leftover hummus in an airtight container for a week in the refrigerator. However, if you are intended to make a larger batch for later use, you can freeze it for up to one month.

Seal it in an airtight jar/ container and leave some space for expansion of the hummus.

Allow at least overnight in the fridge to thaw before the day you intend to use it. The hummus may detach slightly; simply give the mixture a good stir before using!

Additional Recipe Notes

  • Make sure to scrape the sides periodically to ensure that everything blends evenly and that there are no chunks.
  • The time required to smooth it out will vary depending on your blender or food processor.
  • If you have any concerns about your ability to digest chickpeas, try removing the skins before adding them to the recipe. It requires a little more effort and time, but it can make huge difference!

Additionally, removing the skins from the chickpeas may result in a smoother texture for the hummus.

  • Make sure you’re using pumpkin puree, not pie filling. Spices and sugars are added to the pie filling, whereas the puree is simply cooked pumpkin. Additionally, you can make your own pumpkin puree from scratch by following the simple recipe mentioned below.

There are approximately four steps in total:

  1. Cut the pumpkins
  2. Scoop the seeds out
  3. Bake pumpkins
  4. Remove the Skin and Blend it. It’s Done.
  • Tahini adds an element of earthiness that I adore. However, if you prefer a milder flavor, you can substitute your favorite nut butter for the tahini.
  • Maple syrup is one of the best ways to sweeten a recipe without the use of refined sugar. However, you can replace it with agave, coconut sugar, or brown sugar syrup.
