"I know, I know! There are 183 hummus recipes! But none have peanut butter in them. I got this from a nutritionist who's (now grown) children would only eat hummus if she used peanut butter instead of tahini. I like it this way rather than the tahini way. Try it. You'll be pleasantly surprised! I put the olive oil right in the blender instead of drizzling on afterwards. Then I eat it with Kashi TLC crackers right out of the container."

Wow! This was my first time making hummus and I was specifically looking for a recipe that I actually had the ingredients in my kitchen. The only thing I didn't have was fresh parsley and I didn't have quite enough olive oil but this was still fabulous. Because I love spicy food and was craving some heat... I doubled the garlic and added a few jalepenos. It was awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Being a family on a tight budget this is definately a keeper and is a new favorite! :-)

What a great, easy way to make hummus. I made it this morning for today's lunches and just finished trying some. I'll never buy hummus again. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

All the tahini I found tasted like dirt, so my wife and I were happy to hear it was possible to use peanut butter instead. There is a noticeable peanut butter taste for a few hours but as the hummus settles it goes away. While I thought this recipe was both good and simple I still messed around with it. I took out the olive oil and parsley and added some jalapenos near the end, just to break them up a little. I also threw in a little bit of yogurt to give it an even creamier texture.I served the hummus with some greek-style pitas I'd made the night before. Yum.

my mom maintains the fact that she could taste the peanut butter, but I couldn't, especially after a day. I included putting the paprika in the food processor to blend it in.

I have to revise this review because after a day, the peanut butter flavor was a lot less noticable. I think that the garlic needed time to let it's flavor permeate the mixture. This was fast and easy to prepare! I made this using a 15 ounce can of garbanzo beans. It measured a bit less than 2 cups. Other than that, I followed the recipe. After mixing, I thought that it was a little too dry so I added another tablespoon of olive oil and about 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Thank you for posting this recipe!

This is so good. To make it more tahini like I added some toasted sesame oil! Very good. Also added less peanut butter and used lots of garlic powder. Used dried mint instead of parsley. Thank you for the recipe. My daughter the hummus expert says it's great.

This was my first time making hummus with peanut butter instead of tahini. It turned out great! I think I still prefer the other kind but this was nice with celery. The primary taste was the peanut butter...I enjoyed the background tastes of lemon and garlic. It was very easy to make. Thanks for the recipe! Made for Zaar Tag.

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
