It’s this simple: bring Smoky Bacon Flavored Hummus to any party and you’re an instant BADASS! I apologize in advance for the soreness from all the handshakes, high fives and slaps on the back.

So, where did I get the inspiration for this amazing idea?

First of all, I agree with you. It is a pretty amazing idea. Second, and to answer your original question, the idea came from my Smoky Maple Tempeh Bacon. I thought, “If it works for tempeh, it’ll work with chickpeas.” It just seemed to make sense there should be a bacon flavored hummus. 

Why? Because who doesn’t love something smoky, sweet and savory? It’s just that some of us don’t want to get it from a pig’s gut.

Problem solved!

  3. When you said this was delicious – you weren’t kidding. I am thinking up all the ways I want to eat this besides just spooning it out of the bowl plain. Yum!!! Followed the recipe exactly and used fresh garlic. Going in the keep file for sure.

  9. It was so delicious. I reduced the amount of garlic since my cooking guide chart says 1 clove equals one eighth teaspoon garlic powder. I also reduced the amount of liquid smoke . My friend, who is not vegan or vegetarian, thought it was delicious, too, and wanted the recipe. She thought her meat-loving husband would like it. Thank you so much for posting this great recipe.
