FAQs – Avocado Hummus

1. How long does avocado hummus last?

Answer: Since avocado oxidizes quickly, the hummus will last about 1–2 days in the fridge. Store it in an airtight container and cover it with a thin layer of olive oil to slow down browning.

2. Can I substitute peanut butter with something else?

Answer: Yes! You can use tahini (sesame paste) for a classic hummus flavor. Almond butter or cashew butter are also great alternatives.

3. Can I use dried chickpeas instead of canned ones?

Answer: Yes, but they need to be soaked overnight and then cooked until soft before blending. This takes longer but results in an extra creamy hummus.

4. Can I freeze avocado hummus?

Answer: Freezing is possible but not ideal. The avocado may become slightly watery when thawed. If you still want to freeze it, store it in an airtight container for up to 3 months and stir well before serving.

5. What can I serve with avocado hummus?

Answer: It pairs wonderfully as a spread on bread, a dip for veggies or crackers, in wraps, or as a pasta sauce.

6. Can I make this hummus without oil?

Answer: Yes! It will be a bit thicker, but you can substitute water or unsweetened almond milk to achieve the desired consistency.

7. How can I make the hummus spicier?

Answer: To add more heat, try garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
