Creamy, garlicky hummus gets a kick, with the addition of spicy Buffalo sauce! This Buffalo hummus is perfect for game day (or any day) snacking!
A while back I visited my town's farmer's market and there was a woman offering samples of Buffalo hummus. It was so good! I didn't buy any because I had a big old batch of hummus in the fridge at the time. I figured I'd return at a later date and get some. I couldn't though, because I never saw her at the market again. Bummer. But then again, I am in the habit of making my own hummus, and how hard could Buffalo hummus be to make?
It wasn't hard at all. I basically dumped a bunch of Buffalo sauce into my regular hummus recipe. Oh, and I skipped the lemon juice, because the hot sauce gives this hummus enough of a tang.
So, we started the week with Buffalo sauce chili, moved on to (lots!) more chili, and now here we are at more Buffalo sauce. Sorry for the repetition, but I got a bunch of Super Bowl recipe ideas in my head, and I figured it best not to hold off on any of them until next year, because usually when I do that I forget. This is it for sports food for now though. Next week I should be back to switching things up again.

Amazing! I bring this to work pot lucks & serve with fresh pumpernickel bread.
So tasty! I immediately wanted to eat it with blue cheese
Easy & excellent!0
Absolute best buffalo hummus recipe there is!
This sounds SO good! I just made a batch of red pepper hummus so when that’s gone, I’m making this. I wonder how it would taste if you sprinkled a bit of crumbled blue cheese on it. Might have to try that.... I love Franks so much I buy the big jug of it at Sams Club!
I love red pepper hummus! Hope you enjoy this one!
