The Best Fluffy Oil-Free Hummus made with seven ingredients and ready in ten minutes flat. With a few simple tricks for making the best homemade hummus, you’ll never want to buy hummus from the store again!
Exciting news!
I am so excited to share my very first recipe video with you (scroll down to see it)! A lot of you have requested recipe videos over the years (since I started Ceara’s Kitchen almost four years ago in 2013) and I’m thrilled to start making videos of my recipes to bring them to life. I’m going to start doing videos for all my new recipes and (some of my most popular past recipes as well). If there’s a recipe you’d like me to make into a video, let me know if the comments below. 🙂
The Best Fluffy Oil-Free Hummus
Raise your hand if you love HUMMUS! Me, me, meee! Hummus is one food I could not live without. It might be stereotypical as a vegan, but Hummus truly is a staple in my daily diet. I always have some in my fridge to enjoy with freshly chopped veggies, serve as an easy appetizer, on burgers, or even use as a dip with homemade fries. You can just never go wrong! I even had hummus with some pita and cucumbers for breakfast this week.
I am sure we can all agree that Homemade Hummus really is where it’s AT. When you make hummus from scratch, it really does taste that much better than store-bought. It also is probably one of the easiest recipes to make. It takes all of 10 minutes from start to finish. That means you are only TEN minutes and SEVEN ingredients away from Homemade Oil-Free Hummus bliss.
Hummus Tip #1
My first secret to making the creamiest Oil-Free Hummus is to make it in a high-speed blender. Traditionally, you’re supposed to peel every single chickpea for super creamy hummus. I am going to be honest with you, I have gone the traditional route and peeled every single chickpea for homemade hummus and it takes forever and a lifetime. #AintNobodyGotTime4That
Hummus in a high-speed blender is super creamy (like the hummus you buy in store) without any peeling required. Add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend away!
If you don’t have a high-speed blender at home, this is the one I use – it’s very effective and doesn’t break the bank like a lot of the high-speed blenders out there.
Hummus Tip #2
Add aquafaba!! The liquid in the chickpea can (or the leftover chickpea water if you are using home-cooked chickpeas) makes the creamiest and fluffiest Oil-Free Hummus without the need for ANY oil. ⇩⇩⇩
Hummus Tip #3
Add a bit more liquid than most recipes call for. Since you are blending your Oil-Free Hummus, you’ll need a little bit more liquid to get the hummus blending until it is creamy smooth and fluffy. Hummus also naturally thickens in the fridge, giving it the perfect creamy and fluffy consistency.
Hummus Tip #4
Don’t skimp on the tahini. 1 or 2 tablespoons won’t cut it. Tahini gives hummus it’s distinct flavor. I use 1/3 cup of tahini in my Oil-Free Hummus.
Hummus Tip #5
This probably goes without saying, but use freshly squeezed lemon juice. This really makes all the difference in the flavor of the final result.
If you make this Oil-Free Homemade Hummus at home, leave your feedback below, snap a shot and tag me #CearasKitchen on Instagram – I love hearing from you! XO.
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas or 1½ cups (250 grams) cooked chickpeas
- ¼ - ⅓ cup aquafaba
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ⅓ cup tahini (stir before measuring)
- 1 - 2 cloves fresh garlic
- ½ tsp chili powder (optional but recommended)
- ½ tsp cumin powder
- Pinch sea salt
- Parsley
- Add chickpeas, ¼ cup aquafaba, lemon juice, tahini, 1 clove garlic, chili powder, cumin powder, and sea salt to a high-speed blender (or food processor).
- Blend, blend, blend until creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Scrape the sides of the blender halfway through blending. Taste test and add additional garlic and sea salt to taste. Add additional aquafaba by the tablespoon (I use ⅓ cup aquafaba total when I make hummus).
- Add hummus to a bowl or deep plate. Garnish with cumin, chili powder, and parsley. Enjoy!
2) Make sure the tahini you use in this recipe is oil-free, for this recipe to be 100% oil-free.

Hi, i believe that i saw you visited my site thus i return the desire?I’m attempting to in finding things to enhance my site!I guess its adequate to use a few of your ideas!!
Amazing! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a completely different subject but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Superb choice of colors!
Thanks for making me to obtain new tips about personal computers. I also have the belief that one of the best ways to help keep your laptop in best condition is by using a hard plastic case, or shell, that will fit over the top of the computer. Most of these protective gear are generally model specific since they are made to fit perfectly in the natural casing. You can buy them directly from the vendor, or through third party sources if they are readily available for your notebook, however not every laptop can have a spend on the market. Just as before, thanks for your tips.
My spouse and i ended up being peaceful when Louis could finish off his investigation from your ideas he obtained from your own site. It’s not at all simplistic to just continually be offering procedures which other folks have been making money from. We take into account we now have the blog owner to give thanks to for that. The type of explanations you made, the simple website menu, the friendships you make it easier to engender – it’s got mostly awesome, and it’s really facilitating our son in addition to the family reason why the subject matter is cool, and that’s truly fundamental. Many thanks for all!
I absolutely love your blog and find a lot of your post’s to be exactly I’m looking
for. Would you offer guest writers to write content in your case?
I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on a
number of the subjects you write related to here. Again, awesome blog!
This is really attention-grabbing, You’re an overly professional blogger. I’ve joined your rss feed and look ahead to in quest of more of your excellent post. Additionally, I’ve shared your site in my social networks!
Hi my friend! I wish to say that this article is amazing, great written and come with almost all significant infos. I抎 like to look more posts like this .
Mit Reduslim geht zuerst der Hunger und dann verschwindet das Gewicht.
Dies ist zweifellos auf die Wirkung der Pflanzen zurückzuführen, denn sie wirken tief im Körper und beseitigen das angesammelte Gewicht.
Sie haben immunmodulatorische Eigenschaften (sie wirken sich positiv auf die Schutzfunktionen des Körpers aus), sie regulieren Stoffwechselprozesse im Körper.
Der Hersteller erwähnt auf seiner Webseite keine Studie, die die
Wirksamkeit des Präparates belegt. Die Hersteller haben beschlossen, Reduslim über die offizielle Website zu verkaufen. Der Hersteller der Kapseln empfiehlt
die Einnahme von zwei Kapseln täglich. Beim Wiegen bekam seine Motivation einen ordentlichen Schub,
denn er hatte in der zweiten Woche ganze zwei Kilos abgenommen und wog nun nur noch 94
kg. Wenn Sie beim Kurs bleiben, haben Sie keine Chance, Ihre extra Kilos zurück zu bekommen! Wir haben uns entschlossen, unseren eigenen Selbsttest durchzuführen, und die Ergebnisse sind unten aufgeführt.
Bei unseren Recherchen stellen wir fest, dass der Online-Händler
baaboo die Kapseln zum günstigsten Preis anbietet.
Unsere Mission ist es, Ihnen einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Nahrungsergänzungsmittel im Gesundheitsbereich zur
Verfügung zu stellen. Deswegen möchten wir Ihnen an dieser Stelle eine weitere wirkungsvolle
Alternative vorstellen. Dadurch fällt es Ihnen ganz leicht, Gewicht zu
verlieren. Wobei es am Ende nur ein einziges Ziel gibt: Gewicht zu verlieren.
Mit der Einnahme hatte er ganz nebenbei 12 kg Gewicht verloren.
Die einzige Einschränkung bei der Einnahme des Arzneimittels kann die individuelle Unverträglichkeit seiner einzelnen Bestandteile durch den Körper
einer bestimmten Person sein. Daher ist die innovative
Pillen zur gesunden Gewichtsabnahme Reduslim ein wirklich einzigartiges Produkt,
das Sie zum besten Preis auf der offiziellen Website des Herstellers kaufen können. Sie können echte
Bewertungen über Reduslim lesen, um selbst zu sehen, wie wirksam es ist.
Solche Bewertungen sind das Ergebnis der Arbeit skrupelloser Konkurrenten, Betrüger, die gefälschte Produkte von zweifelhafter Qualität verkaufen. Immer wieder haben sich auch
unabhängige Verbraucherorganisationen mit den verschiedenen Mitteln verfasst und
sind zudem oft zu dem Ergebnis gekommen, dass einige der Produkte
nicht helfen, sondern am Ende sogar eine Gefahr für die Gesundheit sind.
Das Ergebnis der Einnahme von Reduslim ist einfach erstaunlich: Wer sich viele Jahre
nicht von den zusätzlichen Kilos verabschieden konnte,
schafft es nicht nur, Übergewicht loszuwerden, sondern auch die Komplexe, die mit seiner Anwesenheit, Depression, Stress,
Depressionen und Apathie. Reguliert die Arbeit des Nervensystems,
stellt einen gesunden psycho-emotionalen Hintergrund wieder her,
beseitigt übermäßige Reizbarkeit, bekämpft Depressionen. Reduslim ist
ein innovatives Heilmittel, das sich positiv auf die Funktion des Verdauungstrakts auswirkt und den Körper
von Giftstoffen, Toxinen und anderen “Schadstoffen” reinigt,
die eine gesunde Gewichtsabnahme verhindern.
Der Körper muss auf seine Reserven zugreifen, die Fettpolster können abgebaut werden. Nur jetzt können Kunden von einem
50% Rabatt für eine Online-Bestellung profitieren! Im
Netz lassen sich keinerlei großen Kritikpunkte von ehemaligen Kunden oder
in einem Reduslim Test finden. Daher erhielt auch die geringere
Gewichtsreduktion eine positive Bewertung im Test. Durch die
Einnahme von täglich drei der Abnehmpillen, ist eine schnelle Gewichtsreduktion möglich, wobei laut Hersteller, weder eine Ernährungsumstellung, noch Sport nötig sind.
Der in der Pflanze enthaltene Wirkstoff HCA kurbelt den Fettstoffwechseln nachhaltig an und führt so zu
einer Gewichtsreduktion. Im speziellen handelt es sich dabei um den Wirkstoff
Garcinia Cambogia. Spezieller Wirkstoff ist Garcinia Cambogia, welches ein wirkungsvolles Diätetikum darstellt und das unzähligen Menschen bei einer Diät,
unterstützte(10). Glücklicherweise hört die wissenschaftliche
Forschung nicht auf, vor nicht allzu langer Zeit erschienen neue Reduslim-Tabletten zur gesunden Gewichtsabnahme auf dem Markt – sie helfen, Übergewicht ohne Diät,
Training und andere Einschränkungen zu bewältigen. Um
dauerhafte Ergebnisse bei der Gewichtsabnahme zu erzielen, wird empfohlen, die Kapseln in einem Kurs einzunehmen.
Er sollte nichts weiter tun, als die Reduslim
Kapseln entsprechend der Vorgaben des Herstellers einzunehmen. Ob sich die
Aussagen des Herstellers auch in der Praxis bewahrheiten würden, können Sie in unserer ganz persönlichen, nun nachfolgenden Reduslim Erfahrung einmal nachlesen.
Obwohl wir den Wahrheitsgehalt dieser Aussagen nicht anzweifeln, wollten wir
das doch gerne mit eigenen Augen sehen bzw. verifizieren. Der 23-jährige
Ronny absolvierte gerade eine Ausbildung zum Restaurantfachmann und obwohl er in diesem Beruf genug
Bewegung hatte, brachte er einige Kilos zu viel auf die Waage.
Er empfahl mir diesen Reduslim, weil ich bereits bei diesem Verkäufer
bestellt hatte. Aber bei diesem Nahrungsergänzungsmittel ist das anders.
Ich merke tatsächlich, dass ich weniger und besser
esse, aber vor allem habe ich nicht mehr ständig Hunger.
1. Sie steigern Ihren Stoffwechsel, so dass Sie mehr Kalorien verbrennen. Dann habe ich noch mehr zugenommen als vorher – ein totaler Reinfall!
Sein persönliches Wohlbefinden habe sich mit der Einnahme von Reduslim deutlich gesteigert.
Gründe für einen Erektionsverlust oder schwache Potenz können vielfältig sein und müssen nicht immer am zunehmendem Alter eines Mannes liegen. Liegen offizielle Test- und Studienberichte zu Reduslim vor?
Gibt es offizielle Test- und Studienberichte zu Reduslim? Doch damit kann ganz schnell Schluss
sein, wenn Sie nur auf die Kraft von Reduslim vertrauen.
Da jedoch regelmäßig Nahrungsergänzungsmittel getestet werden, kann es gut sein, dass auch
dieses Präparat bald einem Test unterzogen wird.
Gleiches gilt für andere Produkte, die zum Abnehmen und
für die Fitness eingesetzt werden, wie auch unser Flavdrops
Test gezeigt hat.

I’ve made this recipe quite a few times now and I have some tips.
Drain the aquafaba from the tin into a bowl and put the bowl in the freezer.
Boil the drained chickpeas in enough water to cover with a garlic clove or two for 20 minutes.
Drain chickpeas under cold water to get them cool then follow the recipe. The skins fall off when you do this. I sometimes remove as many as I can, other times I don’t bother. I haven’t noticed much difference either way. It’s still super simple but the results are amazing.
How can I find out more about it?

Fabulous! I prefer home cooked chickpeas so I used those. I followed the recipe exactly and made two batches: one plain and one with some roasted red pepper. Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe.
I made this for the first time today. I cooked my chickpeas and carefully measured the aquafaba. I’ve been using Baron brand organic tahini, and pure ground sesame, and the recipe came together quickly and as described. I’ve printed out the recipe and it’s now in my regular-rotation cookbook. Thank you!
This recipe worked well for me, nice and smooth. If anyone needs an oil free tahini recommendation, Kroger’s Simple Truth brand is a good option.
This recipe is super fast and easy to make. The hummus is absolutely wonderful. I am getting ready to make it again. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Wow, I was convinced this was going to be the best recipe for me…but so sorry to say it was a colossal disaster. I followed the recipe exactly. I used very long soaked beans and cooked for an hour as they were super soft. I didn’t have a lot of cooked water left over but added it all to my blendtec with the rest of ingredients and blended on high. . The more I blended the stiffer it became. I kept adding more water to hope it would become fluffy and softer. It didn’t do much . I was left with just a sticky pasty like mix. I ate a small serving after so much time waiting for the finished product and threw the rest down the disposal. What happened? Please let me know as I don’t think I will ever make home made humus again.
Maybe try super ice cold water or make sure you add more water to your beans when cooking. To me it sounds like it still didn’t have enough liquid. If the taste was okay add more liquid. I used the whole can of chickpeas. All the water etc.
Add canned roasted red peppers but be sure to dry them well with paper towels to remove most of moisture.
This recipe is so good. I will defiantly be making this from now on. I did add smoked paprika just because I love that spice, but great without as well.
This is a great recipe. To make it smoother (as I don’t have a high speed blender), I boil the already-cooked chickpeas in baking soda water for a few minutes to soften the skins.
I love this recipe and will be making it again. Do you think it could be frozen if I wanted to make a double recipe? How long would it keep in the freezer?
I’ve been using this recipe since it was posted and always double it and freeze it. I can’t honestly tell you how long it can be frozen because we use it quickly and in so many ways!
Thanks for this recipe! I’ve made it twice now, and I’ll never go back to store-bought hummus.
Wow! The second try was a charm. The first time I didn’t add enough aquafaba and the chickpeas wouldn’t fold down to be pureed. This is great! I will never buy humus again. Thank you.
Sorry but please stop calling recipes with Tahini or Cashews “OIL FREE”.
Both have enough Fat and Oil that they simply do not qualify as Oil Free
There is fat in food, oil is when it is extracted and all the fiber and nutrients are discarded. Fat does not equal oil. If you want a low FAT recipe look for a low fat recipe. Oil free does not mean fat free.
Oooo just go away Jim
Oil free means no ADDED oil beyond the amount that is in the whole food
There is added oil in tahini, though. Jim is correct.
It’s an important distinction to note for those with medical reasons for avoiding added oils.
If you read the recipe carefully it says to choose oil-free tahini so the recipe is 100% oil-free.
Wrong
This was my first time making hummus and it was perfection! So much better than store-bought. I looked at three oil-free recipes online and chose yours. So glad I did. I have one question – after refrigerating overnight, it was less creamy and a little stiffer. After about 15 minutes, when it was more at room temperature, it was almost fully restored – but I’m wondering if adding a tablespoon of aquafaba would also have helped. I don’t want to change the flavor profile because I love it, so adding lemon juice or tahini doesn’t seem right, but the aquafaba seems more neutral. Do you agree or would that change the flavor profile, too?
Love how creamy and fluffy this is. I’ve been looking for a good oil-free recipe and this one is perfect! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this delicious recipe!! I like to add black sesame in mine. Gives it an earthier flavor which I love.
Delicious! Very creamy and fluffy.
Is there even such a thing as ‘oil free’ tahini? Never seen it? Thx!
Yes, it’s just 100% sesame seeds. It will have naturally occurring fat from the seeds but no added oil. I buy at sprouts or trader Joe’s 😊
Yes Mighty Sesame Co makes one in a squeeze bottle. I get it on Amazon
It would have been helpful if you had a Pinterest icon or email link for those of us seeing the recipe on their phones. I can’t print from my phone and I don’t have a laptop. It’s too cumbersome to write your entire recipe and insttructions.
Take a screen shot from your phone? That said, Pinterest is always helpful.
Delicious!
Great recipe. Really love it! Just a quick clarification for those who also love this recipe but may not be clear when asking about tahini. They may be asking about oil in reference to Dr, Collin Esselstyn’s version of plant based diet for the prevention and reversal of heat disease. He does not recommend tahini because of its fat content. Not meant as a judgmental or negative comment on a great recipe – and clearly not arguing semantics of “is it or isn’t it” added oil. Just trying to help answer for those that maybe asking in relation to the good doctor’s program. For more, you may want to look up Rip Esselstyn’s recipe (His son) for hummus – which isn’t as tasty…. Here is a quote from his Engine 2 Diet recipe for oil free hummus, he says, “This is the most basic of the spreads. You can find a variation of this recipe in almost any grocery store, but 95 percent of them are made with either olive oil or tahini (sesame paste), which pushes up the fat content.”
This is the recipe! Really good, without oil. I’d still like to figure out roasted red pepper hummus. I tried using the roasted red pepper instead of the aquafaba, but it wasn’t right.
Just add roasted red peppers WITH the aquafaba. It comes out perfect.
I ammaking it today. What’s the quantity of red peppers added?
Delicious! This is the best oil-free hummus recipe I have found. I added sliced black olives to the top when I served it and it was a huge hit! Thank you! Clearly a 5 star recipe *****
Awesome recipe! Thanks for sharing.
I included roasted garlic in one batch. Yum.
I don’t buy canned foods (I cook beans from dry). Any substitution suggestions for aquafaba?
The liquid left from cooking your beans.
For those trying to avoid oil (because of the fat content), be aware that Tahini (ground sesame seeds) is VERY high in fat. If you have cardiovascular disease/ stroke and are trying to follow a Whole Food Plant-Based way of eating (A.K.A. Drs. Barnard, Esselstyn, McDougall, Ornish), skip the Tahini.
Tahini is a minimally processed ( just ground sesame seeds) – just like peanut butter that is only ground peanuts – and is perfectly acceptable for aWFPB diet. You are correct about it being hi in fat , like most seeds and nuts. At least its the good fats.
I love hummus too and have it several times a week. I make mine essentially the same way, but don’t use the cumin or chili powder. However, one trick I do is I also microplane in a lot of lemon zest. It really amps up the lemon flavor and adds a nice brightness.
Sometimes I mix things up and do half chickpeas and half another kind of bean. Cannelini beans are really great because that adds such a creaminess and smoothness to it. If I have black beans on hand, I use those as well. Especially good with tortilla chips.
I NEVER leave comments but this was totally delicious! I completely agree with what you said about peeling the chickpeas dear Lord life is far too short for that complication! I made it in my blender instead of my food processor and it was so much better than other oil free recipes I had tried! I was shocked! I will definitely try your other recipes! Thank you for this
I wanted to leave 5 stars but touch screen is pernicketty. Excellent excellent excellent recioe. I used mixed beans today and it was equally awesome. I tried using red pepper one but they were too wet and it ruined the fluffy… Bleh
Please give us the nutrition facts dear
Delicious! I made it as written and LOVE the blend of garlic, lemon, cumin, red pepper. Soooooo good. I can imagine adding other spices and nuts for variety-or thinning it a bit more for a delicious salad dressing. Thank you!
Best hummus I’ve ever made. You were right about the Tahini, I used to scrimp. But I just have less of the hummus per serving to make up for the extra calories. It’s better to have a little of something delicious than a bunch of something bland. Thank you.
Was pretty aggressive with the tahini, lemon, and the aquafaba. Used a Moroccan spice mix as I was out of cumin. Spread it on a raw onion wrap with julienned carrots, zucchini and sprouts. Amazing!
Why have I waited so long to make my own hummus!? This was fantastic! I only used a TBS of tahini to make it low fat. My 2 year old made it with me and we both are saying Mmmmmm! Thank you!
Thank you for this recipe Ceara. I was concerned about the oil content in the tahini too (which I have never heard of 🙂 ) and since I need to be on a low fat diet, I googled “can you have tahini on a low cholesterol diet”. Some interesting facts came up that were surprising but it seems that there are properties in tahini that are actually helpful in lowering cholesterol (and hormones in women of menopause age, yay!). I would suggest to anyone who is concerned about that ingredient but want to make your recipe to google some information too. That may prove helpful. Thanks again, I can’t wait to try this!
OMGOSH!!!! I used your tips for a Smoked Serrano Hummus recipe from my local Savory and Spice shop. I am not trying to eat a lot of oils so I used aquafaba instead. I also followed your directions about using more tahini. GIRL! That is all I can say. My dinner tonight? The hummus and veggies.
Hi. I need to make.this with no tahini or oil or salt. I’m diabetic and have cholesterol as well. Any suggestions?
You mention at the beginning of this oil free hummus recipe that there is a video, but I don’t see the link for the video. Where do I find the video? Thanks very much.
This is indeed the best hummus I’ve ever made – oil free or not. I added extra garlic, a quarter cup of salsa, and 2 small pickled jalapeño peppers. So delicious! Very creamy! Love it.
This recipe is delicious.
It’s my go-to for Basic hummus. I modified this recipe later and made a black bean version with roasted garlic. It was amazing.
Truly the best hummus I’ve ever had. So creamy, light and delicious. I used Za’tar Instead of cumin,. this is a great base recipe which I can’t wait to make with other flavors. Thanks so much, Ceara!
Made this recipe tonight and Wow! It was amazing! Thank you for posting the recipe. Fixing to share it with several of my hummus loving friends.😋
Hello! Would you know the nutrition facts of this recipe?
Go to chronometer and put all ingredients in there
You’ll get it
Ok….I forgot to save the bean water from cooking. I used regular water. My recipe didn’t hang together at all. It was thick, not creamy, and half of it stuck in my Vitamin. 🙁
Absolutely delicious! Fluffy and easy to make. I just wish I would have left out the cumin. Not a big fan of cumin but even without seasoning it would be amazing!
Besides oil free, I need to cook without citrus and vinegar. Any suggestions for replacements.
I realize this is an old post what about white wine?
This was wonderful! I will never buy store bought hummus again. I didn’t season mine at all, and I love it! I wanted to start off as plain as possible and season in the end, but I loved it plain. Thank you so very much!
I just made this, and ooooooooh my goodness!! So easy, so fast, SO DELICIOUS! Thank you for posting this. It’s perfect!
Ok – so I’m slightly tardy to the party but this is a delicious hummus. I’ve been laboring over recipes that take twice as much effort and time. I whipped this up in just a few minutes. Thank you Ceara. Gonna put this recipe in my go to’s.
Could I use just plain seseme seeds instead of tahini for this recipe?
I think the confusion about oils is brought about by our understanding of harmful refined or processed oils as against the beneficial fats we get directly by eating whole foods. I do not think they are the same.
THANK YOU so much for this recipe! I’ve tried to exclude processed oil in my food for a year or so, but I’ve struggled with my hummus. If I was lucky, it turned out just right, but most times it turned out boring and tasteless. I’ve just tried this recipe for the first time and it turned out perfect in the first try. I followed the recipe as it is and didn’t feel the need to add more spices or garlic. This will be my go-to hummus recipe from now on!
Thank you for this! I just went “added oil-free” – which is so often confused with” fat-free” as seen in some comments here and elsewhere – thank you for clarifying that tahini is a seed butter, in the way that almond butter is ground up almonds, or a smoothie is processed fruits & veggies – not an extracted oil, so it’s a whole food. ANYWAY, this was delicious. I skipped the chili powder, doubled the cumin, and added a dash of cayenne and za’atar. My Vitamix was occupied so I used the processor and ran it until it was silky smooth. And the can of chickpeas left me with plenty of extra aquafaba.
Is it safe to store the tahini in your pantry?
Yes!
I love this recipe. Ive been struggling for so long to make oil free, tasty hummus and now I can!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed the hummus! Thank you for the lovely feedback.
I love this recipe! I have made this many times! <3 Most other recipes ask for olive oil AND tahini. My friend opened up an Arabic restaurant and he uses the same ingredients, minus the added chili and cumin (No ADDITIONAL oil in the mix) However, they do blend while warm after soaking overnight.
I love this recipe absolutely fabulous! I’m not a total fan of store bought hummus and have tried making my own that did not turn out very well in the past. I am amazed by this recipe. Great Job. I took 1/2 and added artichoke hearts and spinach and gave it a whirl in the blender leaving it a little chunky….both are so good.
For those of you wondering about the fat…maybe search Whole Food Plant Based and see what you find…it’s been a wonderful way for me to eat…Maybe it’s something you will want to try.
Nut butters oils are used. This recipe is not oil free or fat free. And there is no healthy oil. Just saying.
There’s about 25grams oil in 1/3cup tahini, which is more fat than I take in each day. I wonder if enough oil rises to the surface to appreciably reduce the fat content by just pouring it out rather than mixing it in. At least the flavor would be there.
Tahini is sesame seed oil. So there is oil in this recipe, just not olive oil.
Tahini is not sesame oil…….it is ground sesame seeds, so it is a whole food. She used a brand with no added oil, such as Baracke brand, which has only one ingredient, ground sesame seed with no added oil or other ingredients hello.
Definitely a great article article that sounds wonderful. But how do you make oil-free tahini? Put the Heeney Haswell in it does it not I’m just asking
Happy you’re avoiding the store bought hummus…
As a Lebanese, growing up in Lebanon, you can imagine that perfecting hummus was a staple in every kitchen…
Hope you’re open to couple of advices…
You don’t need to peel the chickpeas, the trick is to overcook them on low heat and blend them while hot (authentic hummus restaurants will cook them overnight). Once you cook your hummus, don’t worry about Aquafaba, you will have enough stock to control the texture to your liking.
Tahini is a oil in disguise… just leave it to rest in a clear jar for few weeks and you will see more than 1/3 is made of oil. If overused – apart from fat content – it tend to overtake the texture of the hummus and definitely its taste. Your hummus (aka chickpeas in Arabic) will end up very creamy but be mostly made of stock and tahini.
Last but not least, cumin and chilli are considered a toppings to hummus (mutually exclusive as cumin is mostly used when you serve your hummus with whole chickpeas on top and chilli (cayenne pepper) for a pure version. Reason for that, again since hummus is made while hot, adding spices at that temperature will mutate their composition and that will affect the end taste…
Keep on cooking!
Cheers!
So what exactly are you saying about the tahini? Don’t use at all or use a smaller amount?
BASSAM –
When cooking the beans overnight, how is this done? Do you start with dry chickpeas or canned (I’m guessing dried).
Also, do you put any tahini at all in with this method? I’m looking for a way to have no added oil, and no tahini in my hummus, and still have it turn out creamy/moist!
I appreciate any help with this!
I found that you can use a slow cooker overnight to cook the dry chick peas, on low 8 hours, using 1 1/2 cups of chick peas to 7 cups of water. Works like a charm and yields enough for two batches of hummus.
Is the 1/4-1/3 cup of aquafaba in addition to the aquafaba from the can of beans?
Not in addition to! Just 1/4 – 1/3 cup of aquafaba. Hope this clears things up!
I made this twice today, once with 1.5 cups of chickpeas and the second time with 4.5 cups. Both recipes turned out perfectly. Very flavorful, nice texture. Definitely my go to recipe from now on. In answer to Lizzie’s question, tahini does not (or rather, should not have) refined oil. The oil comes from the sesame seeds, which is different than the refined oils from the bottle that are used for making commercial hummus. The fat from sesame seeds is healthy fat of the type that is found in nuts and seeds. Thanks again for this great recipe.
So happy you enjoyed the hummus, Rebecca!! Thank you for the lovely feedback! <3
This is exactly what I was thinking about. Tahini is made of sesame seeds so there’s no way it’s oil free.
Hi Anuh! Tahini is a seed butter made by processing sesame seeds – there’s no added oil in this recipe. Make sure the tahini you are buying just says sesame seeds to make sure there’s no added oil!
I realize I am splitting hairs, but doesn’t the tahini have oil?

I think what he’s saying is that sasame seeds (and hence tahini) are 50% fat, so you can’t add a load of tahini and claim it’s oil free, as you’re adding oil in the form of the tahini.
Smh. Sesame seeds are a whole food. So the natural unrefined oil that comes from them is not adding oil. Its natural fats. Her recipe is oil free – as in no added gross refined oils. If thats too hard to grasp then move along to the next recipe! BTW- Ceara made this today and its amazing 😉
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! XO <3
This is an awesome hummus recipe! It was easy peasy to make. Thank you for sharing.
