Creamy Oil Free Hummus
This creamy oil free hummus recipe is easy, tasty, and so simple to make! This hummus combines canned chickpeas and spices, and is blended into creamy perfection in your food processor. Enjoy this hummus as a dip for vegetables, with pita bread or chips, or spread on a sandwich or wrap.
Equipment
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 2 14 ounce cans No-Salt-Added Chickpeas see note below to make your own
- 1/2 cup chickpea canning/cooking liquid
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
Instructions
- Prep Your Chickpeas: take a large mixing bowl, and place a strainer/colander over the bowl. If using canned chickpeas, open the cans and place them directly into the strainer. The bowl will catch the canning liquid, which we will use later. Allow the beans to drain for 2-3 minutes.
- In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas, garlic, tahini, chili flakes, lemon juice, and salt.
- Seal lid, and start processing with the food processor. If your lid has an attachment you can remove to add ingredients, remove that piece, and slowly pour in the cooking liquid until the consistency is creamy and whipped. If you used all the cooking liquid, but still need to add more liquid, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until the hummus reaches the desired consistency.
- Refrigerate in an air-tight container for up to 5 days, and enjoy!

Notes
Use Cans of Chickpeas, or Make Your Own from Dried Beans!
This recipe calls for chickpeas - and some of the cooking/canning liquid too. I’d recommend a no-salt-added variety to keep the overall sodium content down, so you can control how much sodium is in the dish. Canned chickpeas blend great, so if you are using canned chickpeas, just watch the sodium or added salt content. I prefer making my chickpeas from scratch in my Instant Pot. I follow my simple no soak chickpea recipe here, and save the cooking liquid to add to the hummus. I make dried beans in my Instant Pot every week, it’s a great way to save on cost. If you’re a bean fan, then I’d recommend an Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker as a way to take your recipes to the next level!Nutrition
