Description
Hummus doesn’t always have to be savory. I whipped this little dish up last fall, of course, pumpkin inspired, and I had to make it again. My kids love it too with sliced apples. In fact, I have it all ready for them when they get home from school. Great snack and so healthy. You have to give this one a whirl.

Marla, Chickpeas are absolutely perfect for fiber and protein so I gravitate to using them. You can use other white beans or broad beans if you prefer for it wouldn’t impact the calorie count too much. ox
Chickpeas are high in calories, what can I add instead?
