Homemade Hummus- 4 WAYS!

I hope you LOVE hummus as much as I do because today I’m showing you how to make a classic hummus recipe as well as 3 delicious flavor variations that you’re going to love! ahem- including CHOCOLATE HUMMUS! Excited for you to give these a try.

Hummus: I’ve found that people either LOVE it or HATE it. I happen to fall into the omg-gimme-all-the-hummus-possible-I-love-it-so-much category. ?? If you don’t fall into a similar category, you might want to come back to the blog tomorrow for a new recipe.

Because I love it so much, I’ve tried quite a few different flavor variations and today I’m sharing with you my go to BASE hummus recipe as well as 4 different flavor variations. They’re all super easy to make and I highly suggest giving them all a try!

If you were to force me to pick just ONE of these, I would definitely go with the roasted red pepper hummus. I’m completely in love with this one and could eat it every single day (and often do :D). I pretty much always use jarred roasted red peppers for ease but during the summer months, when bell peppers are in season, I’ll also roast my own to put in the hummus.

Here are the different hummus options that we have:

• Classic Hummus
• Roasted red pepper hummus
• Chocolate hummus (best served as a dessert with fruit or crackers)
• Avocado hummus

I’ve seen hummus recipes that make things overly complicated but I’ve found that simple throwing ALL of the ingredients into your food processor all at the same time works just great. You know me: I like things to be as simple and pain-free as possible.

So, here’s what is in the base recipe:

• chickpeas
• lemon juice
• tahini
• garlic (you could omit this if you so desire (or even add in extra))
• olive oil
• water
• salt and pepper

What other hummus flavors should I try!? Please let me know what your favorite are!
