Oil Free White Bean Hummus Recipe (2024)

This oil free white bean hummus recipe is a creamy dip made with garlic, paprika, lemon juice, and spices! A great appetizer or fat free lunch recipe.

The perfect dip for veggies, pita bread, or to spread on toast or a sandwich for extra plant based protein.

This oil free white bean hummus recipe is loaded with flavor without the fat. I love making homemade hummus, it happens on almost a weekly basis around here. My secret for creamy oil free hummus is to blend in some of the bean cooking/canning liquid into the dish. That way, you get a nice and thick consistency without making the hummus watery.

I topped this hummus with some chili flakes, parsley, and fresh chopped cucumber from the garden. This is one hearty navy bean hummus recipe you can enjoy again & again!

• White Beans: you can use these low sodium canned beans or make them yourself from dried beans. I usually always cook my beans from scratch as they have lower sodium and is really easy to do in the Instant Pot. If you do use canned beans, I would highly recommend using low or no sodium canned beans like these, which won’t alter the taste of this recipe.
• Garlic
• Tahini: A fantastic and flavorful spread made from ground sesame seeds. This tahini is fantastic in any dish, we absolutely love this tahini!
• Smoked Paprika: give an additional depth of flavor to this dish.
• Lemon Juice: Use fresh lemons if you have it, or this really great bottled lemon that you can keep in your pantry if you don’t have fresh lemons. This organic lemon is great for dressings, dips, and even co*cktails – and it tastes fresh, which is great to have around if you don’t use lemon juice everyday but still want to keep some around.
• Salt & Pepper
• Red Chili Pepper Flakes: for a little heat! I like to add a few shakes to this recipe to give this dish a nice complex depth of flavor.
• Chili Flakes, parsley, and chopped cucumber to garnish

How Do I Make White Bean Hummus without Oil?

1. Start by saving the canning liquid from the white beans. Place the beans into a strainer over a bowl to catch the canning liquid as it drains. You’ll be using the liquid later in the recipe.
2. In a food processor or blender, add the beans and 1/2 cup of canning liquid, garlic, tahini, paprika, lemon juice, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Pulse/blend on low speed until the humus begins to thicken and combine. If the hummus is too thick, add 2 tablespoons more of canning liquid until it is a creamy consistency.
3. Place hummus into a bowl or plate, top with more chili flakes, fresh chopped parsley, and cucumber to garnish. Dip away!

Canned Beans VS Homemade

While I love the convenience of canned beans, I also love cooking dry beans from scratch in my Instant Pot. I use the 8-Quart Instant Pot Ultra, which is larger than standard models (which are only 6 quart) so I have extra room to meal prep and batch cook more meals for the week. The Instant Pot works wonders for cooking dried beans fast, no soaking required!

While canned beans are super convenient, they are often loaded with sodium. If you buy canned beans, I always recommend using a no salt added variety so you can control the amount of salt in your dish. Next time you reach for the canned beans, think about https://amzn.to/3t9a5Oa! Homemade beans are incredibly cost efficient, and you can add seasonings and spices to the beans while they cook for extra flavor.
