White Bean Hummus without tahini has the right balance of beans and garlic for a delicious flavor. A vegan hummus recipe that's easy to make, healthy, and inviting when served with various vegetables and chips.
Have you ever whipped up a creamy white bean dip with garbanzo beans? Well, that's just what I did for this white bean hummus recipe.
You should, too! It is one easy and healthy snack and is perfect for movie nights, game days, parties, or just anytime get-togethers.
Okay, I'll admit Game Day is an excuse for me to throw a party. I am lucky we had the annual football parties at our house with tag football. It was fun!
We didn't have hummus in those days. Mom's go-to was refried bean dip and some sort of onion dip to go with salty potato chips.
Our crudities were spread out on a tray, but we just ate those fresh, along with olives of all colors.
I can remember dishes of nuts, too. Yeah, mom was cool!

But this is so fresh and so much healthier than anything you can get from a store. And you don't need to worry about unnatural preservatives.
White Bean Hummus ingredients
- Garlic - is used fresh and blends perfectly for a great flavor kick.
- Garbanzo beans - also lovingly known as chickpeas adds a lot of protein besides taste.
- Lemon - freshly squeezed lemon juice compliments the creamy white beans.
- Coconut oil - is added to get that extra creamy texture. A reader told me they swapped for extra virgin olive oil and it turned out but I feel coconut oil is a much better fit.
- Salt and pepper - are the seasoning masters.
Making hummus without tahini
- Place the skinned garlic cloves in a food processor.
- Chop up cloves in the food processor.
- Add all of the other ingredients and process to a smooth dip.
- If you are cutting down on oil you and you want to thin the dip a bit - you can add a tablespoon or two of water.
You may be wondering, how long does hummus last? You can make it about 4 days ahead of time to preprepare for a get-together but if you have any leftover freezing is an option.
Can you freeze hummus
- Yes, so easily!
- IF FREEZING:
- Package in rigid sided containers as defined in my article Preparing Food for the Freezer
- TO PREPARE AFTER FREEZING:
- Remove from the freezer and put in the refrigerator overnight because it is a pretty solid mass and will take longer to defrost.
- Stir before serving with crackers and/or veggies.
