- *Optional: Start by steaming the chickpeas for 5 minutes by using a pot with a basket steamer and about 1 inch of water at the bottom. Place the lid on the pot and allow the chickpeas to steam.

Notes
Storage:
This hummus should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
This hummus should last 5 days in the fridge.
Tips and Modifications:
I recommend adding ice water towards the end of blending to get a creamier hummus.
Pumpkin pie spice would work just as well as cinnamon if you dig that combination of fall spices.
It does harden up a bit in the fridge, so keep in mind that if you are serving it at a party, serve it right away or chill it for only an hour.
