    I tend to go through phases with food...

    Smoky Black Bean Hummus (Vegan)

    ...and by that I mean I become absolutely obsessed with certain recipes or ingredients!

    I will literally hoard certain foods out of concern that I will exhaust my current ample-enough stash...ahem, dates.

    And being a food blogger, the nature of the game is to try new recipes practically daily, which can sometimes be a drag given that I want to eat my favorite dishes over and over!

    Hummus has become a recent obsession of mine.

    It's quick to make, it's easy, it's cheap, and it's delicious!

    It's a great snack to keep on hand for my girls to enjoy with tortilla chips, rice crackers, carrots, or celery, so I love keeping a supply of it in my fridge for their hungry tummies.

    I usually make a standard chickpea hummus (sans tahini for my oldest daughter's allergies), but when I recently ran out of chickpeas, I decided to give black beans a go!

    What resulted was creamy deliciousness!

    By adding in a few smoky spices, including cumin and smoked paprika (yum!), along with a couple of tangy touches, this makes a great, healthy, high protein dip for any of your favorite crunchy vehicles.

      I know you aren't anal about calories, but for those who are... I think your information is pretty far off. All of the protein comes from the beans, and a full can only has ~26 g of protein, so 1/6th can't possibly have 16 grams of protein. Using caloriecount's recipe calculator, I get that 1/6th has 108 calories and 4 g protein.

        I apologize Emily, I was inputting '1 15 ounce can' which was yielding inaccurate results. The recipe has been updated for your convenience.

      this looks great! especially since the Sabra brand of hummus has been recalled. but i prefer to make it from scratch anyway! i tried the cauliflower pizza crust again the other day and totally demolished it! since i make so many different dishes also, i forget sometimes the things i really love. i made the crust this time into small, 4" patties. MMMMMMMM!!!

        Thanks Dawn! I too made the crust recently, we just love it here too! Patties are a great idea, I've actually wanted to try to make it into 'bread' slices, but haven't attempted that yet. Have a great weekend! 🙂
