Oh HELLO creamy dip of my dreams! A regular here when I find the opportunity to combine 2 of my all time go-to things: chickpeas + avocados. They’re basically a match made in heaven and when you throw in some pita chips to the mix….🤤
This is a pretty standard hummus recipe but with the addition of avocado in it.
My recipe calls for 1-2 avocados because I’ve tried it several ways and it always turns out nice. If you LOVE avocado, I suggest going for 2. If you’re not so sure, maybe start with 1 avocado and see what you think. You can easily throw another half or whole avocado in and give in a short blend.
Love a good versatile recipe:)
Ingredients in this Avocado Hummus:
- Chickpeas– I used 1 can of chickpeas but you could easily double the recipe if you want to make a bigger batch.
- Tahini– seriously love tahini and it’s old-school to a good hummus.
- Avocado– obviously:)
- Olive oil– I suggest using extra virgin olive oil
- Garlic– my recipe calls for 2 cloves but I OFTEN put in a lot more. Alternatively, you could leave it out completely if you’d prefer.
That’s it for today! I can’t wait to see y’all making this dish and I genuinely hope you like it.
As usual, if you DO end up making this hummus, please snap a photo and tag me on Instagram @! I always love to see what y’all are making from the blog!
The recipe

Blend on medium-high heat until creamy and smooth!
- 3
Store in the fridge in an air tight container for up to a week. ENJOY! Since this has avocado in it, it will start to brown a bit after 24 hours. To help prevent this, take some plastic wrap and place it directly on top of/ touching the hummus in an air tight container and press out any air. place the lid on the container and store it this way so that as little air is touching the hummus as possible.
Cook notes
*it’s truly up to you how many avocados you put in but I’ve tried it several ways and it’s always flavor-packed. You can always start with 1 and then easily blend in another as desired based on taste etc.
