Maple Lime Hummus is spicy, a little sweet, and silky smooth. It’s so easy to make and can be done in just a few minutes. The super creamy texture is thanks to the butter beans and navy beans combo. That’s two cans of beans so this recipe makes a decent-sized batch. Don’t worry, it won’t last long.

Apparently, when I’m old, the thing I’m going to be known for is making hummus … just like my grandmother was known for making biscuits and gravy. Every time my grandson, Ledger, visits he requests hummus. This is a win-win situation. I get to make Ledger happy and we all get to eat hummus.
I like to try different variations and this time I had butter beans leftover from making this Vegan Cream Cheese with them (yes, it’s delicious).
We ended up using a can of butter beans and a can of navy beans and the combo was delicious. Silky smooth.

This sounds delicious! What do you dip into this with, crackers?
Good question …. Hummus is SO versatile. We use it as a dip with tortilla chips, crackers, vegetables, etc. It’s also good as a sandwich spread, as a sauce on pizza, added to avocado toast … it goes with so many things. Xo
