Awesome!! I was just cooking chickpeas earlier this week for the same. Saving money on hummus is huge. Enjoy!

Stumbled upon this post from the Super Bowl recipe round-up. The avocado hummus looks amazing. Saving money on our hummus habit will definitely be good. Even our 1 year-old likes hummus so we will definitely be trying this. I’m even planning to try the homemade wheat thins recipe that is at the bottom of the page. Thanks!

Love, love, love this! I do the same thing with tortillas! I am going to save so much money making my own hummus now!

Melissa – yes, you don’t have to touch it at all. Definitely you can leave it. They need to cook for at least 7 hours and could go longer. You could even soak them during the day while you were away and then cook them overnight. I’ve done that recently with some navy beans. Easy! Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.

So, help me with the slow cooker thing. you said you kept an eye on it, but did you have to stir it, etc. throughout the day? Or could a person just leave it if they were out for the day?

@Joy! Homemade pita chips – that is smart. Thanks for sharing your recipe so I can try it too! @Jenny – Yes, the cooked beans freeze well. I’ve never tried to actually freeze hummus. Not sure about that I’m sure with your example of hummus love that the kids will come around one day!

I love hummus (especially the South Beach Diet recipe)! I had no idea you could freeze it! Allen and I could eat one recipe in one sitting. I wish my kids liked it.

I have yet to try homemade hummus, but have wanted to. Your post inspired me! I do, however, make my own pita chips. I buy the whole wheat pita bread. Then I separate it and slice it into triangles with my pizza cutter. I brush each triangle with olive oil and sprinkle some sea or kosher salt on it. Then I bake it for 10 minutes @ 400 degrees. Delicious and cheaper than store bought pita chips.
