Easy Black Bean Hummus Without Tahini. A deliciously simple hummus made with black beans, garlic, and spices. Few ingredients and ready in just 5 minutes!
As I mentioned in my 5-Minute Kalamata Olive Hummus recipe, I’m always on the hunt for snacks! Let’s face it, without snacks, we’d binge at 10pm. Am I right?!
Oh, I’m the only one that gets mad cravings at 10pm? Well, then more for me. ;)
No but seriously, having healthy snacks throughout the day can really help. This Black Bean Hummus without Tahini is a GREAT option for snacking. Grab some pita chips, warm mini pita breads 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 Black Bean Hummus without Tahini is flavorful! All you need is a few ingredients and 5 minutes. That’s all folks!
I hope you make it and LOVE it!

This looks so creamy! I totally can spread this inside my wraps to flavour it up with it! :D Fantastic idea!
Yes, using it as a spread is a great idea! :)
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!
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.
Yes, spices always make recipes extra flavorful! Hope you love them! :)
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!
Hope you love it, Erica!
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. :)
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. :-)))
