We just tried this ... I had cooked up a bunch of chick peas in the crock pot and so had extra. We added in cinnamon after first trying it without and decided it's how we liked it best! Had it with apple slices. Great to have as a healthy option for snacks and breakfast. We're even thinking about peanut butter and chocolate hummus sandwiches.

I have to admit that when i saw this recipe, my first impression was 'Eww! Glick!' But I knew that I had to try it. The kids loved it because texturally, it looks exactly like cookie dough, so when I gave them spoonfuls of it, they thought they were getting away with something. I omitted the peanut butter, because one of the recipients was under 2, but added some back onto my toast later. Don't leave it out - the peanut butter really helps the flavor. I had no idea if the beans were supposed to be rinsed or not, so i rinsed and needed about 4 T of water to achieve a nice, spreadable consistency. Thanks for the unusual and unique recipe! I'm sure that I'll make if often for my kids.
