Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 15-oz can Chickpeas, drained & rinsed but reserve drained juice (or 1½ cups cooked chickpeas)
  • 1 - 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • ¼ cup Olive oil or coconut oil (I use half of each)
  • 3 Tablespoons Lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Onion flakes or powder
  • 1 teaspoon Chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon Paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
  • Salt & pepper to taste - I usually use ½ teaspoon
  • 3 Tablespoons Garbanzo bean juice, OPTIONAL To thin hummus when cooled if using coconut oil

Instructions

Instructions:

  1. Dump all ingredients into Ninja & puree until smooth & creamy, add a Tablespoon or so of reserved juice as necessary to attain desired consistency.

  2. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to a week.

Recipe Notes

NOTE: Hummus containing coconut oil will get firmer at refrigeration, so if serving cold you may want to put back an additional 2 - 3 Tablespoons of the reserved juice.
