Forget everything you think you know about hummus—because this version is going to surprise you in the best way possible. Creamy Blueberry Hummus brings together the creamy texture of chickpeas, the natural sweetness of blueberries, and a touch of maple syrup to create a dip that’s both nutritious and wildly delicious.

Perfect for fruit platters, crackers, toast, or just by the spoonful, this hummus is ideal for snackers who love bold flavors and healthy twists. It’s fast, flexible, and a serious crowd-pleaser.


Why I Love This Blueberry Hummus

This vibrant dip is:

  • Naturally sweet with no refined sugar
  • Protein-packed thanks to chickpeas
  • Ready in 5 minutes—just blend and serve
  • Perfect for all-day snacking from breakfast to dessert

It’s like pairing the wholesome feel of no-bake peanut butter oatmeal bars with the refreshing kick of blueberry lemonade.


Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

✅ Frozen blueberries work great—just thaw slightly before blending to help them puree smoothly.


Ingredient Swaps and Add-Ins

  • Sweeteners: Swap maple syrup for honey or agave.
  • Add Creaminess: A tablespoon of almond butter or Greek yogurt takes it to the next level.
  • Boost Flavor: Add a few fresh mint leaves or cinnamon for a fun flavor twist.
  • Protein Power: Toss in a scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder.

How to Make Blueberry Hummus (Step-by-Step)

1. Prep Ingredients

Drain and rinse your chickpeas. If using frozen blueberries, let them thaw slightly.

2. Blend

In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine:

  • Chickpeas
  • Blueberries
  • Maple syrup
  • Lemon juice
  • Vanilla extract
  • Salt

Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.

3. Taste and Adjust

Taste your hummus—add more lemon juice for tang, syrup for sweetness, or a pinch more salt to balance flavors.

4. Serve

Scoop into a bowl and serve immediately, or chill for a thicker consistency.


Tips for Success

  • Blend well: Keep blending until it’s ultra-smooth. You can add 1–2 tbsp water for a lighter texture.
  • Chill before serving: For best flavor, let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.
  • Don’t skip the lemon: It brightens the flavor and helps preserve the color.

Serving Suggestions & Pairings

This sweet hummus pairs beautifully with:

  • Fresh fruit: apple slices, strawberries, grapes
  • Graham crackers, pretzels, or pita chips
  • Toasted multigrain bread or bagels
  • As a yogurt bowl topping or smoothie swirl

Make it a full snack board with no-bake monster cookie energy balls and oatmeal breakfast cookies.


Storage and Leftovers

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freezer: Freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge and re-blend if needed.
  • Meal Prep Win: Make a double batch and keep it ready for weekday snacking.
