Green tea cake that is flavorful without being overly sugary. Soft and spongy. Family and friends have largely appreciated this dish, and I have the added bonus of every time I prepare it, the entire kitchen fills with the heavenly aroma of green tea. You could also turn this into 12 cupcakes.

Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup water
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin (Optional)
- 1 pinch paprika
- 1 sprig fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Place garbanzo beans, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, water, garlic, and cumin into a food processor and process until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle top of hummus with paprika and fresh parsley.
- For thinner hummus, add a little more water or even the liquid from the chickpeas. I find 1/4 cup water with totally drained garbanzos is perfect; after refrigeration, it will thicken up.

OMG this is wonderful! I have never really cared for hummus because it is so bland. My sister is going through chemo and her iron dropped dangerously low. Her Dr. gave a few food suggestions to help bump up her iron or she would need a blood transfusion. I read that homemade hummus is nothing like store bought and boy is that the truth!!! Loaded with iron and many good victims and minerals! Love it! With this recipe you could go anywhere with the flavors you like!
I used the jar liquid for thinning and 4 large cloves of roasted garlic. I followed the recipe, but didn’t add parsley or any seasoning except salt. Delicious and very easy! I will try roasted red pepper in the next batch.
This is my 2nd time making it and I haven’t changed anything yet!
Very good. Didn’t have tahini so I used 1 tbsp sesame seed oil.
It’s pretty bland, as written, to my taste buds. I quadrupled (maybe 4x +) the garlic, doubled the salt & lemon juice and added some onion powder. I love it, and my family is thrilled.
Great flavour, used 1/4 cup of reserved garbanzo bean fluid instead of water. Added additional tbsp of lemon juice and tahini. Nice texture and mild.
This was delicious! I made sure to remove the hulls from the canned garbanzo beans. I followed the recipe as written, including fresh parsley, 2 garlic cloves, 2Tbs of the canned liquid instead of water, and the optional cumin. I found it a little dry and added 2 more Tbs of liquid. It was fine as is, but I played around later with half, and added 2 smoked papika olives and a little of that liquid, and then about a Tbs of sun-dried tomatoes and blended again. Outstanding! Over the top. This is a great base recipe!
I thought suggestions for using water from the garbanzo beans was a good idea, so went that route for added flavor. I used reduce sodium beans, and being from the South, added about a teaspoon or so of Tony Chachere’s (Cajun seasoning) and a couple tablespoons of chopped pimentos. Good stuff! Parmesan was another good addition.
I used the chickpea liquid instead of water and added a little salt. So good!!
Easy to make with ingredients Inhave on hand.
Simple and traditional flavors. Family and guests love this dish!
Excellent. Use olive oil and lemon juice to get consistency. I used unpeeled garbanzos and the water boiled down so that the bottom garbanzos were a little toasted (brown) and that created a much more pronounced nutty flavor.
yummy
This was my very first hummus and perhaps my second time using my cuisinart food processor. Love the easy recipe and the taste is delicious. I did use avocado oil because that is what I had on hand.

This is my favorite hummus recipe I have found online. I am not a hummus connoisseur or anything so I imagine there are much better recipes out there, but for the ease, time and taste, I highly recommend this.
Excellent. I did embellish it, and made a mistake, but I liked the results. First, I made it artichoke hummus. I added 3 canned artichoke hearts, chopped, at the end. I also replaced the 1/4 cup water with liquid from the artichoke hearts.
I added less garlic. Very good .i will make it again.
Love it!! Delish!!!
An excellent base recipe. I followed the suggestion of “Doug in Manhattan” and cut up the garlic and soaked it in the lemon juice for a few minutes to reduce the ‘assertiveness’ of the garlic. I also added about 1/2 of almond pulp and a 1/2 cup of cooked beans as they needed to be used up! Thus just needed a little more liquid in the blender.
I love this recipe And so did my Lebanese husband! I did add an extra Tablespoon of olive oil and lemon juice plus a very small pinch of salt. It turned out creamy and delicious! No need to buy already made at the store!
