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.

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. :)
Erica says
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!
Jamie Silva says
Hope you love it, Erica!
Riva says
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.
Jamie Silva says
Yes, spices always make recipes extra flavorful! Hope you love them! :)

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?
Jamie Silva says
I’d definitely recommend olive oil. That would work best and yes, this can totally be a party food!
Joyce says
This looks so creamy! I totally can spread this inside my wraps to flavour it up with it! :D Fantastic idea!
Jamie Silva says
Yes, using it as a spread is a great idea! :)
