Peanut butter and hummus are the same thing. (lemmy.world)

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.

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.
