Peanut Butter Hummus

I have always liked hummus and liked peanut butter. When I began to think about the holidays and making special treats, I searched high and low for peanut butter recipes. I found chocolate and peanut butter recipes galore but when I discovered this hummus recipe, I wondered would it be good? It is....so I will share it with you now!

I am thinking a chocolate peanut butter hummus with graham crackers to dip would be divine too. So when you see me at a party, you can be pretty sure I will have hummus with me. I like it that much, and it is that EASY!

Peanut Butter Hummus (from howsweeteats.com)

makes about 1 1/2 cups

1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Shell chickpeas if you wish. Add chickpeas to food processor and process until finely ground. Add peanut butter and mix until combined. With the food processor on, stream in olive oil through the top. You may need to add more to meet your desired consistency. Add salt, pepper and paprika and mix.

Garnish with a sprinkling of smoked paprika. Serve with veggies and pita chips.

My substitutions: Put the chickpeas in the food processor first and then add all the spices and pb. Add the olive oil about a 1/3 at a time. Blend until smooth. I also added about a Tbsp of tahini. I felt like that made it really good.

Happy Eating! Enjoy!
