Vegan Honey Mustard Hummus

Not your everyday hummus, this Vegan Honey Mustard Hummus is a delicious spin on the classic flavors of the traditional dish. 

We love hummus around here. It's great for snacking, school and work lunches, and parties, but the same flavor over and over can get a bit boring. So, to keep things fun and fresh we like to get a little adventurous and try flavor combinations that aren't typical like this Vegan Honey Mustard Hummus.

Chickpeas are a super star because you can do so much with them. Add them to soups, salads, casseroles, bake them for a crispy, healthy snack and don't forget about flour. Chickpea or garbanzo flour is a great high protein flour that is also gluten free and can be used in a variety of ways. Seriously, the possibilities for this humble little legume are endless. That's why this little bean is a staple of our pantry and should be of yours' too.

Ingredients

Chickpeas are of course, the main component of this recipe. To get the sweet flavor of honey mustard without actually using honey I went with my all time favorite sweetener, maple syrup. It really works well for adding that familiar sweetness in honey mustard flavor. The remaining ingredients are found in typical hummus recipes.

• chickpeas 
• tahini 
• lemon juice 
• garlic clove
• dijon mustard 
• maple syrup
• water 
• cumin
• salt 
• pepper

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Substitutions

• chickpeas - instead of chickpeas you use a white bean such as cannellini

Variations

• Oil - for richness, you can add olive oil, if desired

Equipment

To make this hummus you will need a food processor. We use this one, but any larger capacity model should work well.
