Both are pastes made of mashed beans (peanuts and chickpeas are beans.) They also have a similar nutrient profile and are both used for similar dishes.
There’s way more garlic in my hummus
I say tahini and peanut butter are the same thing because a tahini and jelly sandwich is pretty good.
Yes, this is the answer. In theory, you could make peanut butter hummus, but you couldn’t make hummus peanut butter.
But you could make chickpeanut butter
I wish I could make a chick pea my nut butter.
You know the difference between chickpeas and garbanzo beans?
I’ve never paid to have a garbanzo bean on my face.
You know the difference between ketchup and peanut butter?
I don’t have to go to the doctor when I catch up.
Basically tahini is hummus peanut butter, or as close as you can get.
The statement implies that there is at least some garlic in your peanut butter.
There’s a lot of garlic in mine. You should try it, it’s fucking delicious.
are both used for similar dishes.
Man, I love hummus and jelly sandwiches. As well as my peanut butter shawarma.
Reese’s hummus cups are to die for.
Mmm, I’m going to melt some hummus over my ice cream.
I know you’re joking, but You’ve just given me the Idea for pad Thai shawarma.
I’d eat it
Tbh, a stoned discovery that I still enjoy is chocolate chip cookies dipped in hummus.
Hold up… Melting peanut butter over ice cream?
How did it take me four decades on this earth to find out that this was an option‽
Treat yourself.
I especially like to use chunky peanut butter.

I addressed this earlier, hummus is used for savory while peanut butter is used for sweet.
Then they aren’t really the same thing.
You could’ve just said they’re both bean pastes, lol
Still no hummus one! Chickpea water is not hummus.
And I don’t think a Thai Hummus Curry would work very well…
The blondies are made with chickpeas, not hummus…and they have peanut butter, which means the (not) hummus isn’t a replacement for the peanut butter.
But I do appreciate your efforts in your search!
The original concit was peanuts and chickpeas, not hummus, are similar. Hummus has garlic and sesame seed puree added. Individually I know those things have sweet analogues, halawa and garlic icecream respectively.
Chickpeas have many used in sweet cooking

Peanut has many uses in savory dishes, some even direct replacements for chicpeas.

Peanut butter can be made solely with blended peanuts. Hummus is rarely, if ever ime, made with only blended chickpeas and also requires some oil/tahini for even the basic texture.
I was under the impression that, by definition, blended chickpeas were only one ingredient in hummus.
I thought in order to qualify as hummus it had to have blended chickpeas, tahini ( which is just blended sesame seeds, IIRC), oil, and lemon juice.
Now that I think about it, tahini and peanut butter are fairly similar in texture and consistency.
I wonder what Hummus with peanut butter would taste like.
I also wonder what peanut butter with garlic, lemon and cumin would taste like.
Peanut butter with garlic and salt is absolutely awesome.
I was about to say this sounds similar to Thai peanut sauce
Ez thai peanut sauce recipe.
Red curry paste or Panang curry paste, saute in pan. Pour in your coconut milk, dump too much peanut butter in usually crunchy and add salt/sugar to taste.
10/10 ez n good
This is the kind of thinking that leads to tomatoes ending up in fruit salad.
Better hope your dump stat wasn’t charisma, then!
"Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad.
Charisma is being able to sell a tomato based fruit salad."

Uhh yes… Nothing like a hummus and jelly sandwich
To be fair, depending on how the hummus is seasoned, that might work quite well.
Peanut butter is paired with sweet while Hummus is paired with savory.
So not the same? 😛
Hummus and Hot Pepper Jelly
Depends on how you season the peanut butter. Store bought peanut butter is often chock full of sugar to make it sweet.
A plain peanut butter with just salt and peanuts goes extremely well with savory. Like on a burger.
A beef bacon cheeseburger with something like havarti, with peanut butter on it is delicious.
And a lamb burger with feta and hummus goes really well together.
If you want to compare something to peanut butter, check out tahini. It’s basically peanut butter made out of sesame seeds, and even has a (kinda) similar flavor profile. Tahini and grape jam is delicious.
Mixed with cocoa it makes a nice hazelnut-free alternative to Nutella.
I think hummus contains tahini.
It does. And in a pinch, if I run out of tahini, I’ll make hummus with peanut butter.
Did you like the peanut butter hummus?
I don’t have the most subtle sense of taste, but for me it’s a nearly un-noticeable difference.
Do you have taste buds?
Idk man. I’d put peanut butter on a falafel pocket long before I’d have a hummus and jelly sandwich.
Except chocolate hummus. That shit is a totally different category though.

Peanuts and chickpeas are both legumes, just like beans. Therefor I propose that PB&Js amd hummus on bread should all be classified under “Beans on Toast”
This is an example of British colonization.
“beans on bread” I’m on board with; it’s only on toast if you toast the bread.
Peanut butter usually has sugar in it, but it doesn’t have to. Peanuts can be great in savory dishes too, such as Thai peanut sauce. I eat peanut butter with celery and hot sauce.
I am a peanut butter purist, so IMO real peanut butter is just crushed peanuts and maybe some salt. Anything else is just a peanut-flavored spread.
Peanut butter with sugar in it is gross to me. I specifically look for it without any sugar in the ingredients. It doesn’t have to be sweet!
My favorite is from those machines some grocery stores have that grind it up on the spot - nothing but peanut. Definitely shows the extra ingredients like sugars, oils etc in some jarred ones are totally superfluous. Kind of offensive, really, how some major brands remove the peanut oil and replace it with a cheaper oil.
It’s not about expense, it’s about emulsification. Peanut oil can’t stay solid at room temperature and will separate from the solids. Trans fats are perfect for that so they used that for awhile, but that’s becoming illegal. Now they’ll use other more saturated fats.
Sure… transfats also resist oxidation much longer, which is good for health in some ways - rancid oil is dramatically unhealthy to consume - but also it serves to help the manufacturer by extending shelf life. They do also sell the peanut oil, though.
I’ve had that. I thought it was vile, but to each their own. The friend that made it for me loves it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It tastes like… peanuts? What could be vile about it? I guess you could mix in some sugar and other oil if desired, since that’s really all other peanut butters have.
It was the hot sauce. Some combination of something in the hot sauce flavor profile mixed with the celery and PB didn’t work for me. I like celery and PB, just not with hot sauces (I’ve tried a few over the years).
Edit: I love peanut sauce in Thai food, if that’s what you were talking about
Oh, I get it, you don’t mean the fresh ground peanut butter but the celery-pb-hot sauce thing. I thought you replied to a different comment I made.
I eat hot sauce on absolutely everything so it seemed really normal to me.
Oh, fresh-ground PB can be kinda “blah” for me. Also the constant need to mix it because it settles… I prefer the sugary, processed stuff! Although, at least I’m a crunchy guy!
Hot sauce, on the other hand, I like, but not on everything, lol
And hollandaise is just bougie mayo.
Would you consider mushy peas and refried beans in the same family, too?
No, but they are related. They differ because only hummus and peanut butter are used as condiments/dip as opposed to being eaten alone.
Bean dip or eating refried beans with chips or tortillas is not unusual at all. In fact, dipping tortilla in beans is basically eating hummus with pita.
as opposed to being eaten alone.
Allow myself to introduce… Myself.
PB straight up is a great snack. They even sell little packets of peanut butter to be eaten by itself out here. I’ve also been known to eat the left over hummus with a spoon after all my pita chips are gone.
They even sell little packets of peanut butter to be eaten by itself out here.
Are you sure you’re not just confused about those single serving peanut butter packets they leave on the table at brunch places to spread on your toast 😅?
No. These are sold right next to the chips and popcorn in the snack aisle. Justin’s Nut Butter is the brand. They have more than just peanut butter, but also almond, hazelnut, and other mixed flavors.
I believe you, but I’ll admit the first thing I thought of was the little carousel of jams and peanut butter at a breakfast place, haha.
Pshaw!
If you have never hung around with my cousin, you might think that. But I’ve seen him get stoned as fuck and sit there finger-spooning either hummus or peanut butter into his gaping maw while washing them down with Dr Pepper. Sometimes he changes things up and uses RC cola.
I suspect, when I show him this, he’ll take it as a challenge and try both at the same time.
But the song ‘Hummus and jelly time’ doesnr have the same ring to it…
Sung by a dancing fig with a tambourine
I don’t put mouthfuls of hummus into my mouth
You’re missing out
I had a delicious Peanut Stew at a West African restaurant. It was savory, hearty and delicious. Peanuts are much more versatile than what they are typically used for
In the way that ravioli, dumplings, and calzones are technically sandwiches.
Hold up there. If you’re putting sauce on ravioli, that makes it a casserole.
Also yes. Also lasagna. And possibly an enchilada.
Incorrect, they’re all calzones. Quesadillas are sandwiches though
