Easy Black Bean Hummus
Hi guys! This weekend, our cooking has been kept at a minimum for some reason—lots of sandwiches, salads, and veggie burgers. Do you ever have those weekends where you just don’t feel like cooking?
This morning, however, I finally felt the urge to spend a little more time in the kitchen…and by little, I mean *leeeetle*—this hummus took all but ten minutes to throw together, but it scratched my cooking itch!
Black Bean Hummus
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups (one can) of black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tbsp. tahini
2 garlic cloves
juice and zest of 1 lime
1/3 cup cilantro
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
salt to taste
Directions
Throw all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth, stopping a few times to scrape down the edges. Enjoy!
Very tasty! The tahini makes this hummus really smooth and thick. I enjoyed it in a whole wheat pita with some salsa and avocado slices for lunch. Give it a try!
We’re off to State College to meet Danielle and her husband for mini-golf! Let’s hope my mini-golf skills are stronger than my pitch ‘n’ putt skills. Oy.
Hope you’ve had a great weekend!
sweet recipe
where do you get your tahini? i can’t seem to find it anywhere but whole foods and it’s fairly pricey there…
what a great idea! can you really taste the cilantro? len doesn’t like cilantro at all…. or onions….. sigh.
I have a ton of black beans in my fridge leftover from this past week. I need to use ‘em up!
Mmmm the perfect medium between bean dip & hummus!
This looks really good! I like that you used cilantro. I may try putting herbs in my next homemade hummus. Also, where do you get tahini? I have yet to really search for it, but it’s keeping me from making “true” hummus at home…
My groceries seem to be devoid of tahini as well.
Fred Meyer claims that they carry it, but it seems to be out every single time I shop there!
Maybe its just that good?
This recipe looks wonderful, can’t wait to try! Thanks. Love all the hummus variations. Our cooking has been lacking this weekend too because I need to get to the grocery store, but have not had time yet. Tomorrow … maybe.
That looks fantastic. I have a lot of weekends where I don’t feel like cooking. I also don’t feel like leaving my bed.
I don’t feel like cooking almost every day…baking I don’t mind. Cooking is a whole other ball game.
I love black bean hummus but I don’t like how expensive tahini is!
Cloves…interesting. I never ever think to use them.
I am officially adding tahini to my grocery list!
LOVE blackbeans as an alternative to chickpeas/garbanzos in hummus! i used to make an identical one that i would blend with spinach.. the spinach seems like it would be too much but it was really good!!
love mine with lots of garlic too <3

Love homemade hummus, but I’ve never made black bean! Looks great.
Andddddddddddd THIS is why I need a food processor. That looks amazing!
Yum, I love black bean hummus. Your recipe looks delicious!
