Dessert Hummus Week continues! (if you missed day 1, click here!)
Did you guess the second flavor in our series of delicious sweet hummus recipes?!
The clue was: full of fiber and veggie goodness!
So it could only be…
CARROT CAKE, of course! ??
There are currently NO carrot cake dessert hummus’ on the market, so this recipe is totally exclusive to Healthy Helper. Get ready for some major deliciousness!
In the first Dessert Hummus Week post, I chatted about how my hummus is so much more affordable than buying a container of store-bought dessert hummus. Today I wanted to give you proof of the cost breakdown.
It turns out my hummus is less than 1/2 the cost of a container of store-bought! Plus, it’s fresher, is made with whole food ingredients, AND has less sugar. You can’t beat that! ??
Cost Breakdown
Store Bought Dessert Hummus – $5.99
Homemade Dessert Hummus – $2.62
1 cup chickpeas- $.48
2 tsp coconut oil- $.17
1/8 tsp vanilla- .015
¼ tsp cinnamon- $.0125
1/8 tsp nutmeg- $.00625
1/8 tsp ginger- $.00625
2 tbsp vanilla almond butter- $.71
1 tbsp Whole Earth Baking Blend- $.12
¼ cup carrot puree- $.70
1/4 crushed pineapple- $.40
That breaks down to about $.32 cents per serving! Healthy, delicious food doesn’t have to be expensive OR hard to make.

Just like my Brownie Batter Hummus, this Carrot Cake variety is vegan, gluten-free, and low in sugar. It’s also full of plant-based protein and extra fiber from the addition of carrots and pineapple.
I love eating this with…
-graham crackers
-fresh apple slices
It would also make a delicious alternative frosting for carrot cake muffins or carrot cake itself! Double carrot cake for the win.
