Who knew it was so easy to make homemade hummus at home? I kid you not, it’s easy and comes out creamy and delicious! 

I love, love, love my instant pot. Heck, I even wrote a cookbook with 175 instant pot recipes! Some of my other favorite ways to use my instant pot is to make Instant Pot Cuban Black Beans, Instant Pot Chicken Fried Rice, and Instant Pot Chicken Stock.

Can I use canned chickpeas?

Yep! The longest part of this instant pot hummus recipe is the soaking of the dried chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans). You will need to plan ahead and soak them the night before you plan to make hummus in your instant pot. 

If you want to skip the soaking part, you can also swap out the dried chickpeas for the canned variety that are already soaked for you.

Do I have to peel chickpeas for hummus?

No, we don’t peel the chickpeas for this pressure cooker hummus recipe. Some people prefer pealing them before turning them into hummus but I don’t find it necessary.

What can you eat with hummus besides pita?

  • Raw carrots, broccoli, or celery
  • Pita Chips
  • Turkey wraps

At the blending stage of making hummus, there are many choices to change up the flavor. Here are a few ideas!

  • Red pepper paste
  • Kalamata olives
  • Black eyed peas
  • Boiled Peanuts
  • Avocado
  • Sweet Potato
