This Avocado Hummus recipe is like guacamole and hummus in one, and it is the smoothest and creamiest hummus recipe I’ve ever made! And the flavor unbelievably delicious! Perfect for pita chips and veggies, or use it as a spread on your favorite deli style turkey or veggie sandwich.

This easy avocado hummus dip is the perfect snack any day any time! Who could resist?

Snacky? Think Avocado Hummus!

Here’s how I want to get part of my veggie intake for the day! My whole family loved this hummus recipe, kids included (and that’s saying something, I hated hummus when I was a kid).

This homemade hummus can be made in under 10 minutes and it makes for the perfect midday snack. If you make it to take to a party, you likely will be coming home without a drop left.

So Delicious, AND Healthy!

This is the best hummus recipe, I seriously could not stop eating it and I didn’t have to feel guilty since it’s a healthy dip. This definitely beats having potato chips dipped in a mayo loaded ranch dip for an afternoon snack, or that candy bar we like to reach for when we think we are too hungry to wait for dinner.

You might just find yourself craving this avocado hummus just as much as guacamole and tortilla chips.

Hummus Recipe Adjustments

If you’d like the avocado flavor to shine through more in this hummus recipe you can reduce the tahini slightly, but if you want it to have more of a traditional hummus flavor leave it as it is.

I did add the cilantro to mine, I just left it off for the pictures so you could see what the hummus looked like better (just in case you were wondering).

    This is really good except I didn’t like the little bits of red pepper flakes in the creamy texture, I would replace with a pinch of cayenne next time.

    I am obsessed about this avocado hummus! It is incredibly tasty and it is completely healthy and completely free of processed products.

      With the avocado I’m not sure if it would freeze well unfortunately, it may brown a bit.

  • Marlene

    Will this humus (avocados) turn brown if made a day before serving?

      It may a little it varies based on the avocados it seems. But your best bet is to put it in a container that it fits snug without extra space on the top. Sometimes adding the pit from the avocado helps as well.

    Tenía ganas de probar esta receta y realmente vale la pena hacerla, a mi familia le encantó. Muchas gracias

    I just made this recipe and its the most flavorful hummus I’ve ever made. The one thing I did differently was blend the cilantro in instead of just using it to top the hummus! I’ll definitely make this again!

  • Sarah

    Oh dear. I really wanted to like this recipe but it’s just not good. Followed it exactly and then tried a second time just in case – nope. Very bland and flavorless and quite dry. Love the idea of avocado hummus but this isn’t hitting the mark.

      Sorry to hear that! The flavor can really come down to the quality of the avocado some can be more bland and dull. Also being sure it’s adequately seasoned with salt is key. For more flavor you can always add more lime, garlic or tahini, then to thin add a little water or chick pea liquid (aquafaba) as needed.
