Creamy Vegan Avocado Hummus

Creamy vegan avocado hummus. Or should I say avohummus, or hummamole? However you want to call it, guacamole and hummus are probably two of the best things that exist, so I decided to combine them. And let me tell you, this is an outcome you do not want to pass up on! If you have never been able to choose between hummus or guacamole, this recipe is for you. Don’t just take my word for it, Well and Good wrote an article all about this recipe!

I had a super ripe avocado lying on my counter, so I combined it with a can of chickpeas and basically made the most delicious and creamy vegan avocado hummus I’ve ever tasted. It takes about 10 minutes to make and is great to have a snack, bring to a dinner party, or enjoy alone or amongst family and friends!

Creamy vegan avocado hummus ingredients

• Chickpeas. One of the main ingredients for this avocado hummus.
• Avocado. The second main ingredient!
• Garlic Cloves. This adds a lot of flavour to the avocado hummus, and is much more potent than adding garlic powder. If you don’t like too much garlic, I would recommend using 1-2 cloves, since it can be very powerful.
• Spices. I used salt, pepper, and turmeric
• Olive Oil. For some extra flavour and to make it extra smooth.
• Tahini. This adds a great taste to the dip, and is traditionally used in store-bought hummus.
• Water. Used to make the hummus consistency less thick.

Tips on how to store your creamy vegan avocado hummus

Once you make your avocado hummus, place it in a glass container with the avocado pit in it! If you will be eating the avocado hummus as soon as you make it, only add the avocado pit once you are ready to store it in the fridge. This pit will stop the avocado hummus from changing colours and keep it fresh for longer. So, you will be able to store this dip in the fridge for about 4-5 days.
