When I posted the recipe for my Sweet White Bean Apple Dip, one of my readers (Hi, Mari Jo!) mentioned that it would be good with pumpkin puree. I knew it was only a matter of time before I gave it a try. How right she was.
I had some girlfriends coming over this weekend, so it was the perfect time to give the white bean+pumpkin idea a whirl. As a pumpkin pie lover, I am super excited about the results. This dip seriously tastes like pumpkin pie in a dip form.
Everyone who tried it was so surprised to hear that the base was white beans. They would have never know had I not told them. Don’t feel guilty if you make this and decide to keep the beans a secret. I won’t tell.
Besides the incredible taste, I’m also happy to have another snack option with a good protein punch. It’s great for me as a pregnant mama with extra demands for protein. It’s also good for Meghan, who, in typical 3-year-old fashion, has one favorite source of protein: peanut butter. Other than that, you never know if she’s going to eat her other protein options in a given day. Make the option sweet like this dip, she’s much more likely to eat up. Win win.
