White Bean Pumpkin Pie Dip

Hold on to your hats, boys and girls.  Anyone who loves pumpkin pie is going to swoon over this dip.  I know I just posted a pumpkin pie-ish recipe last week, but clearly I can’t get enough of the flavor.

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.
