This Oil Free Hummus is definitely part of my weekly meal prepping or batch cooking go to's each week. Having something that taste delicious and is simple to make is what I like in a recipe.
Most of the hummus you find in the grocery store contains oil. This recipe below is so easy, has minimal ingredients, and you'll have it ready in under 10 minutes. In addition, this oil free hummus last for about 5-6 days in the refrigerator.
How do you make a creamy hummus without using oil? Won't it be dry? Answer...NO!
The secret is in the can of beans itself. You can use the liquid in the can which is called aquafaba. Aquafaba is the liquid that is created from the cooking of the beans. You can use aquafaba as an oil substitute to create the creaminess for the hummus. Aquafaba can also be used in baking for egg white substitutes and to create meringues and even marshmallows.
My go to snack that tastes delicious and is oil free. You won't even miss it.
