This pumpkin hummus would be a delicious make ahead Thanksgiving appetizer to serve your guests while sipping on some warm apple cider or cold pumpkin martinis.
It can be made in advance and served at room temperature for a hands off appetizer friends and family can casually snack on while waiting for the big dinner.
The warm spices and subtle sweetness from the pumpkin and brown sugar are a delicious twist on your classic hummus. Best of all, like my white bean dip, it can be whipped up in less than 10 minutes!
🛒Ingredient Notes
- chickpeas: any canned chickpeas works!
- pumpkin puree: Storebought is easiest but you can always make your own puree. Make sure to purchase pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie mix. I like Libby's.
- tahini: This is sesame paste and is used in almost every hummus recipe. It can be found in any food store.
- olive oil: Use a good quality olive oil!
- lemon juice: This adds a bright acidity.
- spices: I include chili, garlic and onion powder.
- dark brown sugar: This adds a bit of sweetness and molasses flavor.
How To Make Pumpkin Hummus
When I tell you this is one of the easiest recipes I have, I mean it!
First you need to strain the chickpeas from the aquafaba.
Then just add ALL ingredients into a food processor and puree until smooth and creamy!
Using a food processor is the best way to puree homemade hummus.

Expert Tips
- Make sure the consistency is what you're looking for. Adding more olive oil will give your hummus a thinner consistency. More chickpeas will make it thicker. Feel free to play around with it.
- Add more or less salt depending on your taste.
- Feel free to add other spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, clove or pumpkin pie spice for a warmer fall flavor.
- Grilling your pita or naan bread will elevate the flavors of your hummus. I highly recommend doing this.
