This smooth and creamy peanut butter hummus makes a great dip. It is low in fat and high in healthy minerals and vitamins with natural protein.
We love dipping things like celery, apple slices, sliced strawberries as well as sourdough crackers and more in this.
I’ve even been known to eat it with a spoon like cookie dough, it is just that good.

How I Make Peanut Butter Hummus
Using Chana Dal that I cooked in my instant pot makes this an easy dip to make within minutes. Here is a link to how I make chana dal in my Instant Pot .
I had heard about dessert hummus a while back and don’t know exactly where from. I was intrigued. I set about to make my 2 favorite flavors in the dessert world Peanut Butter and Chocolate.
I started looking at ways to reduce the fat grams per serving to allow the serving size to be a bit larger.
One of the best ways to do this is to use ingredients like Pressed Peanut Flour and MCT oil since you are allowed a larger serving of MCT oil due to its health benefits.
Hummus and Trim Healthy Mama
One of the biggest things when you think about hummus and Trim Healthy Mama is that chickpeas are normally an energizing fuel where tahini is a satisfying ingredient. So logicially you would think that hummus in general is a crossover.
However, you can have a small amount of beans in a S meal and are encouraged to include a small amount of fat to maximize the mineral absorbtion of your meal in E meals. (You can find out more about S and E meals and how to implement them, in the Trim Healthy Mama Plan Book. )

This looks like a winner! It might be helpful to put the word (cooked) after the chana dahl, in the ingredient list 🙂
