Creamy Oil-free Hummus

This oil-free hummus is the smoothest, creamiest hummus you will ever come and is made without using any oil. Instead, we use aquafaba for the perfect consistency and texture. The best part is that you can make it from scratch in just 5 minutes.

Notes

Top tips to make hummus in Vitamix

  • Turn on the Vitamix and slowly increase the speed to the maximum.
  • Use the tamper to push down the ingredients if anything is stuck to the sides.
  • Add liquid (aquafaba and lemon juice) first, then the dry ingredients.
  • When ready, use a silicone spatula to scrape all the yummy hummus out of the container gently.
  • We have a Vitamix A2300 with a 64-oz wet container, in which three cups of chickpea (500 g) is the minimum you need to make fluffy hummus.

Top tips if you don't have a Vitamix

  • Peel chickpeas - Take a bowl and fill it with water. Drop the drained chickpeas in it. Use your hands to rub the chickpeas together. You can see the peel floating to the top. Take a fine mesh sieve and grab the peels from the top.
  • Mince the garlic - I drop it as a clove in the blender or mince it with a garlic press* beforehand.
  • Blend separately - First, try to blend the chickpeas with the aquafaba as smoothly as possible before adding any other ingredients.
