What is peanut butter hummus?
Traditional hummus uses tahini, aka sesame butter, so I thought, why not sub for peanut butter?
The result is truly incredible. I think this is my favourite hummus EVER. I know, bold statement, but it’s true.
Not only do I sub tahini for peanut butter here. But I also use some Thai inspired spices and flavours to make this a truly unique and delicious dip.
Think of this as a cross between your favourite Thai peanut sauce, and the best hummus ever. 🙂

Would it turn out using PB2 in place of the peanut butter?
Rosa says
Hi LouAnn, I haven’t tried it with PB2, so I can’t guarantee the same results, but please report back if you give it a try.

I HAVE to try this, my husband absolutely LOVES both peanut butter and hummus. Usually he prefers garlic hummus, but maybe if I make this for him he’ll love it too!
