5 Minute Homemade Hummus Recipe -- The easiest hummus you'll ever make. No oil or tahini required! (Vegan, Gluten-Free)
G'day loves!
Are you ready for the best recipe of the year?! I don't know if you're ready for this yet.
Just putting it out there that it's been like a full 4 days since the year began, so the competition wasn't that stiff.
We're going back to basics to kick off the new year, and is one of the simplest, and most frequent recipes I make on a consistent basis here in the Sinful Nutrition kitchen
The one. The only. Humm-to-the-Us. HUMMUS!
I say this homemade hummus recipe is 5 ingredients, but if we're getting real technical, you can make it with one. A hugh jass can of chickpeas.
Yes. No oil. No tahini. Just a gang of chickpeas, and it's mysterious juices.
That sweet bean nectar of the gods! ..Otherwise known as aquafaba for those who are culinarily fluent. Either way, a buck and some change is all that stands between you and a pound of spreadable, edible chickpea HE-AV-EN.

This is perfect for me since I never have tahini on hand because it's too expensive!!
Emily Cooper
Agreed! And I never have any other use for it!
Jodi @ The Average RD
I love making homemade hummus, but I have never tried without oil. I love this idea! I will certainly be trying this soon!
Emily Cooper
Thanks Jodi! Hope you enjoy!
Kelli @ Hungry Hobby
Yesterday at the store I almost bought hummus and then I thought, why I have everything I need to make that! Great minds think alike!
Sarah
Love this! My husband loves to make this but he always estimates the measurements and we never quite get it right. Love the idea of pizza hummus!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I will never go back to buying hummus! It's so expensive and making my own HUGE batches (and freezeing!) is so much better, flavorful, and fun!
Emily Cooper
I'm all about cheap, easy, and delicious! Never thought of freezing it though!
Melanie
I am trying this tomorrow! I have been wanting to make hummus for awhile but didn't have tahini. My dreams have come true!
Emily Cooper
Just call me the hummus genie. 😉
