pumpkin hummus

Everyone has canned chickpeas and pumpkin lying around… at least if you’ve been following hot for food for a while! Canned pumpkin is one of the most versatile ingredients. It adds nutrition and fiber in a sneaky way you wouldn’t even notice.

I use it in my alt version of my cheese sauce, as well as this pumpkin spice latte pie. The latter may be a little extravagant for these times of self isolation and limited trips to the grocery store. But it’s also useful in these simple pumpkin spice muffins!

Don’t forget to save the liquid when you drain you can of chickpeas. You can use that for aqua faba and it can even be frozen for use later. I use it to make these easy banana pancakes (scroll down!)
