5 Ingredient Amazing Bean Spread
Bean spread, bean dip, vegan spread or whatever you want to call it. No matter what the name, this vegan bean spread recipe is so delicious. I almost feel like I’m cheating on hummus with this one. It’s so creamy, rich and oh so tasty. Loaded with protein packed white beans, sundried tomatoes and a little bit of chili.
I pretty much can’t get enough of this recipe. I use this bean spread in sandwiches, put it in wraps, use it as a dip with veggie sticks and nachos and I even slather it on pizzas. It’s so amazing on everything and adds a layer of savory creaminess that I love.
Try it in a sandwich instead of hummus, use it as a dip or give my amazing vegan roasted eggplant pizza a try.
Another thing I love about this recipe, is how easy it is. It’s less than 5 ingredients (because spices and water doesn’t count) and it’s pretty healthy too. I like to add nutritional yeast in mine – but that is completely up to you. I just adore that cheesy flavor of the nutritional yeast, but it’s also amazing without it. The bean spread is naturally creamy and rich and feels like a decadent treat.

Just rinse and drain the cannelini beans and throw them into a blender or food processor along with all the ingredients. Blend until everything is smooth and combined – and you’re done. Easy as that and only takes a few minutes.
