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.

Chickpeas are high in calories, what can I add instead?
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
