Ever since I made Kris’ bean balls, I’ve wanted to make them again. They were too easy and too good! The other night it occurred to me that a hummus style baked ball would probably turn out delicious. I was right.
Baked Hummus Balls
- One can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- One can white beans, rinsed and drained
- Two packets True Lemon
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 3 tbsp brown rice flour
- olive oil
Combine all the ingredients in the food processor save for the olive oil and pulse until combined. Some stopping and scraping down the sides may be necessary. Then drizzle in olive oil while the processor is running until a doughy consistency is reached. Scoop into balls onto a cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
I was extremely pleased with the results… delicious hummus flavor in a fun ball shape!
Soft on the inside, a little crunchy on the outside… perfect.
I served mine with some zucchini sauteed in olive oil. I forgot how much I love zucchini, it’s been too long!
These would make a fun appetizer but can definitely hang as the main part of a meal as well. So awesomely versatile! :)
I’ve been mega busy as usual, getting my ducks in a row for when we move next month (potential rental house AWESOMENESS that I can hopefully divulge very soon!), participating in the internship clinic (soooo loving it, and my clients are loving me too!), working overtime as I can, and getting in some seriously righteous bike rides. I want to take my camera with me next time so I can get some shots of the trail I ride on for you guys. I miss you all bunches! xo
Gotta go pack tomorrow’s lunch, shower, and hop in bed!

I was really impressed with the lovely warmth and delicate crisp to the outside, let me know if you try them!

Thanks! I’m not always a brilliant recipe person, but every now and again I turn out something badass.
Hummus balls are such a good idea! They’re like the savory version of doughball cookies. Haha!
LOL, they really kind of are!!!
alright! congrats on the rental house, possibly. And those look like even better versions of falafel balls!
Hehehehe, thanks lady! They are pretty magical! I’ll have to make you some sometime!
I am going to have to try these. Do you think I would use the same amount of regular flour?
Yeah, I always sub the same amount of brown rice flour for the flour called for in various recipes with good success!
I’m glad you have good busy going on! The hummus balls looks so good! I made something like that the other day with artichokes in it….you reminded me I need to post it. Have a great day my friend!
Those hummus balls look really good!
I’m glad things are going well for you
This recipes is beyond awesomeness!!
I’m getting bored of hummus (gasp), but these sound really delish and like a perfect thing for school!!
Hummus balls? These would be devoured instantly!!!
These look sooo good. You’re a real baller haha. Good luck with the house! We just moved last weekend and the new place is freakin fabulous, I love it.
A trail bike ride sounds delightful! I am so happy you are liking your work right now and it is liking you back ;p
The hummus balls .. omg! YUM
You just took hummus to a new level girl.
BALLS!! I needa make those. P.S. I posted my pb today. It’s not really a recipe, but you know. Still compliments to you
xoxo
Oh you know how I like my balls.
YUMMIE and Hummusie… yeaaaaah.
Ok, but for reals, these look amazing. Making them tonight! Except… what is True Lemon?
True Lemon is just cold pressed and crystallized lemon that subs for real lemon in recipes. They have a True Lime and True Orange variety as well. I hardly ever remember to keep limes or lemons in the house, so I love having that stuff around. Tastes just like the real thing!
Nom nom nom you little falafel lookalikes!
YUM!
Oh my gosh, baked hummus balls! What a fantastic idea
I love grilled zucchini too so it was so great to see that they go well together- definitely one of my favourite veggies! Have to try this one for sure!
Ohhhhh, I love your balls! (TWSS) Sounds like a nice crisp and clean eatin’ dinner! I’ve been craving some zucchini for…well, since I ran out like 3 days ago! Haha! I can’t get enough!
Can’t wait to hear deets about the rental house! You sound like you’ve been so busy, but it all sounds like quite an adventure too…leading up to future awesomeness, right?!
Definitely future awesomeness!! Now granted, I’ll be happy when it all calms down and I have some TIME again!!
good LORD, lady, these look AMAZING. I was thinking, are they SOFT in the middle? and kept reading, crunchy outside and soft in… perfect! I am making these. as soon as I get home. we are still on vacation and I am still catching up on my favorites. *sigh* I miss you!
YUM BALLS!
I WANT these balls! Stat.
Yum! Totally making those…I don’t have tahini but I’m sure they’ll still be awesome!
I think they would be totally fine without the tahini!
just found this post! how on earth did i miss it?
so, these totally remind me of falafel, and now i’m drooling and want some immediately!
thanks for sharing
