This oil free white bean hummus recipe is loaded with flavor without the fat. I love making homemade hummus, it happens on almost a weekly basis around here. My secret for creamy oil free hummus is to blend in some of the bean cooking/canning liquid into the dish. That way, you get a nice and thick consistency without making the hummus watery.

I topped this hummus with some chili flakes, parsley, and fresh chopped cucumber from the garden.  This is one hearty navy bean hummus recipe you can enjoy again & again!

How Do I Make White Bean Hummus without Oil?

  1. Start by saving the canning liquid from the white beans. Place the beans into a strainer over a bowl to catch the canning liquid as it drains. You’ll be using the liquid later in the recipe.
  2. In a food processor or blender, add the beans and 1/2 cup of canning liquid, garlic, tahini, paprika, lemon juice, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.  Pulse/blend on low speed until the humus begins to thicken and combine. If the hummus is too thick, add 2 tablespoons more of canning liquid until it is a creamy consistency.
  3. Place hummus into a bowl or plate, top with more chili flakes, fresh chopped parsley, and cucumber to garnish. Dip away!

Canned Beans VS Homemade

While I love the convenience of canned beans, I usually cook dry beans from scratch in my pressure cooker – the texture is better and it’s more affordable.  I use a larger 7.5-Quart Instant Pot which is larger than the standard model so I can batch cook more at a time. 

If you don’t already have one, the Instant Pot works wonders for cooking dried beans fast, no soaking required! While canned beans are super convenient, they are often loaded with sodium.  If you buy canned beans, I always recommend using a no salt added variety so you can control the amount of salt in your dish. 

Next time you reach for the canned beans, think about investing in a pressure cooker instead! Homemade beans are incredibly cost efficient, and you can add seasonings and spices to the beans while they cook for extra flavor.
