Black Bean Hummus Recipe without Tahini! A deliciously simple hummus recipe made with black beans, garlic, and spices. Few ingredients and ready in just 5 minutes. Perfect snack for any day of the week!

I’m always on the hunt for snacks! Let’s face it, without snacks, we’d binge at 10 pm. Am I right?!

Oh, I’m the only one that gets mad cravings at 10 pm? Well, then more for me. ;)

No, but seriously, having healthy snacks throughout the day can really help. This black bean hummus recipe is a GREAT option for snacking. Grab some pita chips, warm mini pita bread (cut in triangles), or even baguette slices and, you can enjoy this at any time of day!

I’m not a fan of tahini (don’t hate me) so I left that out of this recipe. I promise this hummus recipe is SO flavorful! All you need is a few ingredients and 5 minutes.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Black beans. Make sure you drain and rinse the beans.
Fresh cilantro.
Fresh garlic.
Cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper.
Avocado oil.You could also use olive oil.
Juice from 1/2 lime.

Omgggg! I ate a delicious black bean hummus out at a restaurant this weekend and couldn’t stop thinking about it. I made this recipe as written and SERIOUSLY struggled to not eat it out of the food processor with a spoon. I ate mine with toasted naan and some celery and cucumber slices. Can’t wait for the leftovers waiting in the fridge for me tomorrow.

Sooo yummy! I substituted olive oil (didn’t have avocado oil), used dried dill and oregano (didn’t have fresh cilantro) – the end result was great! Thanks for the recipe. :-)))

Yum! I absolutely love black beans, never thought to make hummus with them! While I don’t have anything against tahini, it’s not something I keep on hand so this recipe is perfect for me, thanks!

I am so excited to try both your hummus recipes since I am allergic to tahini! This one sounds great! I bet that smoky paprika and cumin in there tastes awesome. Can’t wait to try, thanks.

This looks so easy and delicious! I’ve always made guacamole for parties, but this looks like something that would work right alongside that. I love the flavor of fresh cilantro and lime to brighten this up. If I don’t have any avocado oil, would you recommend olive oil or something more neutral like canola?

  I’d definitely recommend olive oil. That would work best and yes, this can totally be a party food!
