Make delicious creamy hummus at home with white beans

Hummus was one of the first recipes I ever made when I first started sharing recipes online. It is actually so easy to make hummus at home and it is usually much better than store bought!

Normally I make my hummus with chickpeas, but in order to get an extra creamy chickpea hummus you need to remove the skins. But, if you use cannellini beans or white beans, you can make an extremely creamy hummus without removing the skins of the beans!

How should I serve this white bean hummus recipe?

I like to serve this homemade white bean hummus as a dip. Usually I garnish the dip with extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest, fresh parsley, and toasted sesame seeds.

Then, I serve it with pita, pita chips or cut veggies. This hummus is also delicious as a spread on wraps and sandwiches. You could even use it as a replacement for mayo in pasta salads!

What kitchen tools will I need to make this Creamy White Bean Hummus?

What ingredients will I need to make this healthy homemade hummus recipe?

You will be amazed at how easy it is to make this white bean hummus recipe with just a few simple ingredients. You will likely already have all of these ingredients in your home except for tahini. If you aren’t familiar with tahini it is a paste made from ground sesame seeds and it adds a delicious nutty flavor to hummus.

  • Tahini
  • Water
  • Lemon juice
  • Cannellini beans or any other white bean
  • Salt
  • Cumin
  • Garlic powder
  • Smoked paprika
  • Extra virgin olive oil

What should I serve with this creamy hummus recipe?

Creamy white bean hummus makes for a delicious appetizer for any meal. I would serve it with some surf and turf skewers and vegetable coucous salad.

Let’s make a Creamy White Bean Hummus!

Step 1: Fluff tahini, water and lemon juice

To begin, add water, tahini and lemon juice to a food processor. Then, process until the three ingredients are thoroughly combined and start to become fluffy.

Step 2: Add white beans and seasonings

Next, add cannellini beans, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to the food processor. Process until thoroughly combined.

Step 3: Finish white bean hummus and garnish

Then, with the food processor running stream olive oil in from the top. Keep processing until a smooth and fluffy hummus remains.

Finally, serve and garnish with olive oil, lemon zest, fresh chopped parsley and toasted sesame seeds.

Step 4: Enjoy!

    Yummmm! Love this even better than hummus. I halved the recipe with one can of beans the first time to make sure I liked it. Turned out great. This will be a regular with me. 🙌🏻👏🏻👍🏻

    This bean dip was so easy to make and also delicious! A nice change-up from the good ole’ chickpea hummus. Also a great way to use up the canned goods living in the cupboard. Will make again!

    This is a really nice hummus, creamy, tasty and easy to make. First time I made it I used cannellini beans, and it does indeed give you a lovely smooth texture. Second time I made it I used half cannellini and half chickpeas (as that was what I had), which also worked.

    Holy yum! Literally such an easy, satisfying recipe. It was ready so quickly that for a second I was worried I did something wrong, but let me tell you… I will be making this for my company on the regular. Everything from the salt level, to the creamy texture was perfect. I’m everything but mad about food right now LOL

    Can I leave out the tahini, or is there something else I can substitute?

      Tahini is often what makes hummus “hummus” to some people, so it’s a crucial part of this particular recipe! You could try subbing it with a different nut or seed butter, but the flavor will change significantly.

    Hi there,
    If i have dry beans i’m guessing i will need to soak them overnight? Or do you recommend I use canned beans?

      If you have dried beans you will need to cook them fully first. It will work great but a lot more work than canned beans!
