    Gluten-Free Vegan Classic Hummus | The Healthy Family and Home

    This Gluten-Free Vegan Classic Hummus recipe is a "back-to-the-basics" classic recipe everyone should know how to make!

    I may or may not be known to eat hummus by itself as a meal. No veggies. No chips. Just by the spoonful.

    Yes, it's true.

    Hummus is such a simple but flavorful recipe that even a child can make it.

    In fact, the official hummus maker in our home is my 10 year old son.  He was wanting to eat hummus so often that I finally wrote the recipe down so he could make it himself.  I had never written it down before and always made it with the same ingredients, but without measuring anything.

    But since he wanted to start making it himself, I finally got around to officially writing it down and now am sharing it with you.

    There's lots of different ways and variations to making hummus like Lectin-Free Sweet Potato Hummus, Vegan Pistachio Mint Hummus, Smoky Chipotle Pumpkin Hummus, Vegan Jalapeno and Lime Hummus or Vegan Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus, but the classic hummus is the way my family likes it the best.  Feel free to adjust the ingredients around until you come up with a ratio of everything that tastes just right to you.

    One of the first things I panicked about when I saw the list of "do-not-eat" lectin foods was chickpeas.  I panicked because I knew what that meant for me...no more hummus!

    But you can prepare the chickpeas in a way to eliminate the lectins, or take the lazy way (my way!) and buy the brand that pressure-cooks them in advance, like this one.

    So whether you need the recipe to be lectin-free or not, they are still the best brand to buy because they are organic and come in a BPA-free can.

    Hummus can be spread on a wrap, used in a salad or as a dip with veggies or grain-free chips.

    And, this recipe is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free and lectin-free (using lectin-approved chickpeas).
