This Vanilla Bean Hummus is a unique, sweet twist on traditional hummus, blending creamy white beans with rich cashew butter and fragrant vanilla bean for a smooth, dessert-like spread. Perfect as a healthy snack or a sweet dip, it comes together in just 10 minutes using a food processor and requires no cooking.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cups white beans (cooked, or 1 can* very well rinsed)
  • 1/4 cup agave syrup (or another sweetener of choice**)
  • 1/4 cup cashew butter
  • 1 pod vanilla beans
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beans: Drain and rinse the white beans thoroughly if using canned beans, then set them aside to be added later.
  2. Blend the Base Ingredients: Add agave syrup, cashew butter, vanilla beans (scraped), vanilla extract, and fine sea salt to the bowl of a food processor. Blend on high for about one minute until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add and Process Beans: Add the drained white beans to the food processor and process for one minute. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even blending. Process for an additional minute, scrape again, and repeat this 1-2 more times until the hummus is completely smooth and creamy. If the mixture appears too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water after each blending cycle to reach the desired consistency.
  4. Chill Before Serving: Transfer the vanilla bean hummus to a container and chill it in the refrigerator until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to set.

Notes

  • For the best vanilla flavor, use fresh vanilla bean pods and scrape out the seeds.
  • If you prefer a different sweetener, honey or maple syrup can substitute agave syrup.
  • Use well-rinsed canned white beans to reduce sodium content.
  • This hummus can be served as a sweet spread on toast, fruit, or crackers.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
