Up until a few years ago, you could get this amazing hummus from a company in New Hampshire called Crazy Camel. They made maple hummus and chocolate hummus too! It was the best! Unfortunately for me and a bunch of other people, they decided to discontinue making such a wonderful product. I’ve been thinking about making my own for quite some time and with all the pumpkin around, why not now?
It took a bit of tweaking with the ingredients, but I think I have it right! I wanted to incorporate a vegetable, so the secret ingredient here is sweet potato instead of garbanzo beans. Very delicious! I ate mine with apples, but I’m sure it would be awesome with graham crackers or the like. Enjoy!!
Serves 8
Ingredients:
- one cup pumpkin puree
- one cup sweet potato (washed, peeled and cooked)
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or to taste)
Instructions:
1. Wash, peel and cook sweet potato (I stick mine a few times with a fork and pop it in the microwave for 4-5 minutes)
2. In the food processor or blend, buzz all ingredients until smooth.
3. Enjoy with apple slices or graham crackers!

This is awesome! I’ve been looking for hummus recipes that don’t include chickpeas as I cannot tolerate legumes. Thanks! I can’t wait to try this!
