Notes
- Yield: Recipe makes about 2 cups of hummus which comes out to eight ¼-cup servings.
- Storage: Hummus will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container.
- Pumpkin: Make sure to use pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, which has added sugar and spices.
- Tahini Substitute: If you don’t have tahini, cashew butter or sunflower seed butter can be used for a similar creamy texture.
- Adjusting Consistency: The hummus will thicken as it sits. Add a splash of water or olive oil before serving to loosen it up, if needed.
