    Super Easy 5 Minute Hummus. The easiest and tastiest hummus ever. Made with simple ingredients - chick peas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and cumin!

    This Simple Five Minute Hummus is the easiest and tastiest hummus ever and is made with easy to find ingredients - chick peas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and cumin! 

    Simple five minute hummus in a black bowl topped with extra chick peas, olive oil and veggie sticks and crackers on the side.

    I have been meaning to share my best hummus recipe for ages now!

    Home made hummus is my absolute favourite dip. I have also made a Beetroot Hummus.

    I make this easy hummus every 1-2 weeks, especially when I am entertaining or if I am asked to bring something to a party, picnics & playdates.

    RECIPE FEATURES

    No additives or preservatives - this recipe is made using wholefood ingredients and does not contain any nasty additives and preservatives like make of the store bought dips do.

    Easy to make - This hummus dip is so easy to prepare and it also lasts ages.

    Freezer friendly - place into small freezer friendly containers and place in the freezer for up to 6 months.

    INGREDIENTS YOU NEED

    • Chick peas
    • Tahini
    • Lemon juice
    • Olive oil
    • Garlic
    • Cumin powder
    • Salt and pepper
    bowl of hummus

    SERVING IDEAS

    It goes really well with Rosemary and Sesame Seed Crackers or Paleo Crackers. However if you are short on time, my favourite store bought crackers are Ceres Organics Brown Rice Crackers with Chia and Carman's Rosemary & Sea Salt Super Seed & Grain Crackers.


    This 5 minute hummus also goes well with carrot and celery sticks or you can use in your Buddha bowl or salad.

    RECIPE FAQS

    Can I make extra quantities of this hummus?

    You can easily make a double or triple batch of this hummus if you have a big party organised or you want to freeze some.

    Can I make this hummus runnier?

    You can add a bit more chick pea juice or even some water to make the hummus a thinner consistency.

    Can I freeze this hummus?

    This hummus will last up to 6 months in the freezer or 4-7 days in your refrigerator. If freezing, place into small freezer friendly containers.
