Black Bean Hummus Recipe

tahini

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sunflower seed butter

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more affordable while still providing healthy fats.

Drain the black beans but make sure to reserve a little liquid.

Add black beans, garlic, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, cumin powder, and red pepper flakes to a blender or a food processor.

Process until combined (3-4 minutes), scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of the reserved liquid from the beans, if desired, to make a looser dip.

Tip - You can add 1-2 ice cubes while blending to make fluffier hummus.

Check for salt and lemon juice and add more if needed.

Transfer to a bowl and garnish with red pepper flakes and drizzle some olive oil all over. Serve!
