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!

- Black beans. Make sure you drain and rinse the beans.

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.
Dylan! This comment made my day! So happy you loved it! :)
How long do you think it would last in the fridge? Can I make extra to have it in advance/
It will last up to 1 week in the fridge.
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. :-)))
Nailed It! You have created a hummus that surpasses all others, for me. This is the taste I have been looking for! Thank you so much!
Great to hear, Debbie! This is one of my faves too. :)
