Healthy and delicious - I can't stop eating. Easy to adjust ingredients for taste. Nice not to have to buy tahini and have all ingredients typically on hand.

I was so happy that I didn't have to buy Tahini to make homemade hummus. Mine tasted great.

Try adding 2 gloves of garlic and 1/4-1/2 cup of Tahini for taste.

I'm not sure about tasting like wallpaper paste (can't remember ever trying it), but it was very bland. My wife and I will try it again with double the amount of peanut butter, triple the cumin and some cayenne or red pepper flakes. Plain commercial hummus has more flavor than this recipe.

This tasted like wallpaper paste. No matter what we did to try to give it some flavor, we couldn't fix it.
