It's A Perfect Way To Use Leftover Pumpkin Puree

Leftover Pumpkin Puree

Making a recipe using leftover pumpkin puree has never been easier.

For example, if you remember from one of my last pumpkin recipes, I mentioned that I never use the entire can of pumpkin at a time.

I had just finished up the recipe for my Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies when my youngest son asked me to make hummus for a snack.

Since I had over a half can of pumpkin leftover, I decided to make this quick + easy recipe.

Takes 5 Minutes to Make

As you'll see in the step-by-step instructions below, this recipe can be made in about 5 minutes.

Add all the ingredients to a food processor, process it and it's ready to enjoy!

Easy + Accessible Ingredients

You can make this recipe with only 9 clean, real food ingredients.

In addition, my quick and easy hummus recipe is plant-based, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free, no-cook, paleo-friendly, and Medical Medium® compliant.

How To Make This Recipe: Step-by-Step Instructions

Here is how to make this recipe and I'll show you with step-by-step instructions below.

Step 1: Gather and Measure The Ingredients

Firstly, gather and measure all the ingredients needed for the recipe.

Next, prep the ingredients before adding them to the food processor:

Drain and rinse the chickpeas
Peel the garlic
Squeeze the lime juice

Step 2: Add all Ingredients to a Food Processor + Process

Secondly, add all the ingredients to a food processor and process until everything is well blended.

Step 3: Taste and Adjust Seasonings

Thirdly, taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings to your preference.

You may need to add 1-2 tablespoons of filtered/purified water depending on the consistency you prefer.

For example, I like my hummus on the thick side, so I only added (2) tablespoons of filtered/purified water.

How To Store The Hummus

Lastly, store any leftover hummus in an air-tight BPA-free container in the refrigerator.

Karielyn's Expert Tip + Ingredient Substitutions

Here are some expert tips to make this recipe perfectly:

Pumpkin Puree. Make sure you use 100% pumpkin "puree" and not pumpkin "pie filling". In addition, try to buy the pumpkin puree in a BPA-free can if possible.

Avocado Oil. Can be substituted with organic extra-virgin olive oil in the same amount.

Smoked Paprika. If you don't have "smoked" paprika, regular paprika is fine to use. Just keep in mind the recipe won't have a "smoky" flavor to it.

Chipotle. This is what gives the recipe a "spicy" flavor. If you don't like spicy foods or will be serving this to children, you can reduce or omit the chipotle.

Lime Juice. The fresh-squeezed lime juice will give you the best flavor and most nutrients since it hasn't been pasteurized. However, you can use organic store-bought as a substitute.

Himalayan Pink Salt. This is my salt of preference, however, it can always be substituted with sea salt.
