    White Bean Hummus without tahini has just 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 a variety of 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 day, parties, or just anytime get-togethers.

    Okay, I'll admit Game Day is sort of 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. Moms 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!

    💭 Is hummus vegan

    • Yes, yes, yes. People ask this every so often and luckily the answer is yes.
    • A classic hummus typically contains tahini, an oily paste made from sesame seeds.
    • But this condiment is also a bit pricey, and not everyone has this stocked in their pantry.
    • So I wanted to make a delicious homemade hummus dip where you only need a handful of ingredients you likely already have on hand.
    • I am happy to share that nothing is boring about this vegan white bean hummus recipe. It is incredibly creamy and perfectly spiced with fresh garlic and lemon flavors.
    • Serve it with your favorite crackers, pita triangles, or veggies, and you have yourself one gourmet snack that everyone will love!

    📖 Chickpea recipes

    • We love chickpeas around our house and here are a few of our favorite recipes.
    • Healthy Chickpeas and Red Lentils are simple, hearty and comforting
    • You can't beat a great slice of pizza and there are chickpeas scattered among this Roasted Veggies Pizza topping.
    • This Vegan Meatloaf doesn't need any sauce it is so flavorful but go ahead and use your favorite gravy or sauce if you'd like.

     Hummus has become the new 'most popular' at parties, and you won't be sorry serving up this quick and healthy dip.

    Forget about buying the hummus containers at the stores. You can whip this up in no time, and all you need is a couple of basic ingredients.

    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.
    Food processor is filled with creamy chickpeas, garlic and more for a great dip.

    📋 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.

    💭 Hummus qualities

    • Super easy vegan hummus recipe with simple ingredients but with a lot of flavors.
    • It also adds plenty of proteins and fiber to complement a vegan wrap for lunch.
    • Hummus has become the new 'most popular' and you won't be sorry serving up this quick and healthy dip.
    • You can dip in crackers, pita triangles, and veggies. Touchdown! Home Run! Score!

    📋 Vegan hummus recipes

    • Spicy Black Bean Hummus has a deeper spicy bean flavor that you just have to try.
    • Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce are a great way to make a simple recipe called Chipotle Spicy Hummus.
