    Fall...back to school, crisp air, apple picking, changing leaves and of course, pumpkin.

    Oh, pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin-flavored coffee - pumpkin is everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE!

    In fact, when I opened my local grocery store's weekly flyer, there was a pumpkin ad on every page! Pumpkin spiced nuts. Pumpkin bisque. Pumpkin butter. Pumpkin cream sauce.

    Pumpkin hummus.

    I think I did a double take. Pumpkin hummus? Pump-kin Hum-mus!

    C'mon kids, get in the car. We're going SHOPPING!

    After I was sure to fill the shopping cart with many pumpkiny delights (yes, I know it's not a word, but I'm using it for emphasis), I was ready to check out and head home and dig right into that hummus.

    As I was munching, I thought, "I should make my own pumpkin hummus. Hmm...what if I were to make pumpkin pie hummus?"

    Hummus, a dip made out of chickpeas, that tastes like pumpkin pie?

    YES!

    Sooo, while the representative from the heating and cooling company arrived take a look around our home in order to prepare an estimate to upgrade our system, I got to work on creating a pumpkin pie hummus recipe.

    As he inspected the furnace, attic and crawl space (ew), I measured and tasted, shouting out names of ingredients and measurements like "one teaspoon!"

    Just so he didn't think I was completely insane, I told him about the blog and explained I was testing a recipe.

    I bet he didn't know he was going to be tasting pumpkin pie hummus on this job estimate!

    Needless to say, it was a winner!

    If you love hummus and you love pumpkin pie, you will double love this hummus!

    How to Make Pumpkin Hummus

    Start by chopping pecans and toasting them in a skillet with sprinkled cinnamon and sugar.

    Then, rinse and drain canned chickpeas, removing the skins (if desired). I usually don't remove the skins but I made this hummus both ways and the skinless way definitely results in a smoother hummus.

    Add chickpeas, pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt to your food processor. Begin by processing on low, slowly adding in sunflower oil. Scrape the sides as needed and continue to process on high until smooth and no chunks remain.

    Transfer to serving bowl and top with the toasted pecans.

    For the ultimate pumpkin pie experience, serve with vegan graham crackers (gluten-free too if needed). Mmm. The crust.

      This hummus was amazing! I didn't know what to expect - is it a veggie dip? Is it a dessert? It was somewhere in between, and was a delicious snack that I enjoyed with pretzels. The cinnamon sugar pecans sealed the deal, as the nutty texture is my favorite, and gave it a bit of a sweet flavor. Great job Sherri! I really enjoyed it.
