Why You’ll Love These Savory Hummus Biscuits
Only 4 Ingredients: Simple, pantry-friendly, and budget-friendly.
- Protein-Packed: It’s said that two spoons of hummus a day can fulfill your weekly bean recommendation—why not get them in biscuit form?
- Dairy-Free: We use oil instead of butter for a light, fluffy texture.
- Flavor Explosion: Using roasted red pepper hummus means these are pre-seasoned to perfection.
- Quick & Easy: Including prep time and bake time, the total time to make these is about 25 minutes!
- Versatile: Great served warm as is or with a dip, soup, or stew.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
- All-purpose flour
You could also use whole wheat flour or make these gluten-free by using any one of the gluten-free flours out there. - Hummus
I used store-bought hummusto make these. But you can also use your favorite homemade hummus recipe instead. - Olive oil
Melted coconut oil or vegetable oil will work as well - Baking powder
This is for the rise. However, if you use self-raising flour, the baking powder could be left out.
How to Make Hummus Biscuits (Step-by-Step)
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Mix: In a large bowl, whisk together the AP flour, hummus, oil, and baking powder until a dough forms.

- Shape: You can use a rolling pin to roll the dough, or use your fingers to spread the dough out onto a wooden board (or any cutting board) so it is about a 1/4 inch in thickness. Then, using a cookie cutter or mason jar lid, cut out 6 to 7 circles/biscuits.
- Bake: Place them on a parchment paper or silicone-lined baking sheet. Bake these for 20 minutes in the preheated oven.
- Serve: These are best enjoyed warm, so they do not need to be cooled on a wire rack.
Shashi’s Tips:
- These won’t be as tall or flaky as a traditional biscuit, but they are delicious and airy. If you want them extra flavorful, brush the tops with a little more oil and a sprinkle of smoked paprika right before they go in the oven!
- Use an equal amount of self-raising flour and leave out the baking powder, making these 3-ingredient hummus biscuits!
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are delicious with:
- Extra hummus slathered on the sliced biscuit. My guy likes a gob of vegan butter on these biscuits.
- A side of sauteed jackfruit, harissa chicken, air-fried fish, or spicy pineapple pork.
- Soup, stew, or chili for dipping.
- As a sandwich base with greens (or a salad) and falafel.
Storage and Reheating
These biscuits are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are good for about 5 days stored this way.
To reheat, pop these biscuits in an air fryer or oven, preheated to 350 degrees, for about 5 minutes. I have also zapped these in the microwave for about 30 seconds when I am in a hurry, and they are delicious.

Such a brilliant idea. Hummus is so chocked full of delicious flavors and nutrients….now adding it to biscuits! Wow!
Dude, hummus biscuits?! I’ve got to try this!!! they look great and love the sorghum flour!!!

Just brilliant Shashi! You are the brave one to go through the experimentation for us so we can just try this delicious recipe. Dunked in a Moroccan stew would be delightful! Just pinned!
Dear Shashi, you are so clever. I love this idea for hummus biscuits. So simple and I know, so delicious! I I’m finding that I can sub coconut oil in so many things in my baking and seems to work well. And healthier! Have a wonderful weekend dear friend! xo
Savory cookies are the best of both worlds and I love the roasted red pepper hummus in there. Brilliant idea!
i made hummus flatbread before, but i totally got to try your biscuits. I bet they would be great with soup!
I love savory cookies, and these hummus biscuits are pure genius, Shashi. I need these in my life. Happy weekend! 🙂
It is quite challenging working with gluten free flours as they don’t work quite the same. Well done on standing with your daughter on this 🙂
What? Hummus biscuits? How genius is that, eh? And I think you’re the craziest (with a good connotation) food blogger I’ve ever known. I guess you’re capable of combining all possible combos in all possible (and sometimes impossible) textures and flavors and making sensational food like these biscuits! Well done!
There are so many GF flours – if you bought them all you’d definitely have a full pantry. I like how you made thiese with the spicy hummus xx
Totally had no idea you could make biscuits with hummus! I have to try that supremely spicy hummus! It sounds amazing!
What an amazing idea! Hummus never actually lasts long enough in my house to make anything with it. I love the idea of buying a few extra containers to make these biscuits. Good luck with the contest, Shashi!
The idea of hummus biscuits is totally genius! Love that you used sorghum flour 🙂
Say what?? Hummus biscuits? What a crazy cool idea! And I can only imagine how good these would taste with the Sabra Red Pepper variety…yumm!! This recipe is indeed proof of why you should stick to something and try, try again until you get it right! In fact, these biscuits are something akin to the Little Engine That Could of biscuits. 🙂
Your biscuits / cookies sound wonderful…what a great idea! I had no idea about the bean recommendation…we are getting that and then some! We love hummus here and eat it all the time. When I don’t make it myself, Sabra is our go-to brand.
What a clever and fun idea! I love these cookies, Shashi.
Shashi! How perfectly simple and delicious these look! And at just 5 ingredients, why Lynne could almost make them! 😉
Love the idea of savory cookies! I got millet flour, but haven’t used it yet! These look delicious! Pinning!
