Thai Peanut Hummus is full of peanut butter flavor and spices, for a delicious and healthy snack. This peanut hummus is perfect with fresh veggies.
Peanut butter in hummus? Um, yes! I don't know why hummus isn't always made with peanut butter. This stuff is SO tasty. Don't get me wrong, I love a good classic hummus with tahini, but peanut butter will always have my heart.
I'm always looking to sneak peanut butter into my recipes (because it's so tasty) and I'm incredibly pleased with this Thai peanut hummus.

What is Thai Peanut Hummus?
This dip is more than just peanut butter and chickpeas, it's got the classic flavors of Thai peanut sauce.
With coconut milk for some sweet creaminess, ginger for a fresh kick, and lemon juice for some acidity, this Thai Peanut hummus is rich in Thai peanut flavor. It's perfect to enjoy with vegetables (carrots are my fav) or plant-based chips!
Why I Love this Thai Peanut Hummus
- Oil-Free - this Thai Peanut Hummus is made without oil (the traditional way to make hummus, btw)
- Dietary Needs - this hummus is also dairy-free, plant-based, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free
- Perfect snack - this dip is quick and easy to make and can be whipped out for a quick and healthy snack, by the spoonful or with some veggies
- Thai Peanut flavor - with peanut butter, coconut milk, and ginger, this hummus has alllll the Thai peanut flavor, using clean ingredients
Ingredient Notes & Substiutions
- Chickpeas: Be sure to buy a low/no added salt can.
- Peanut Butter: Natural peanut butter is best. Make sure there's no sugar or oils. I used chunky peanut butter, but creamy is great too.
- Garlic: garlic adds that umami kick. Use fresh if you have it, but freeze dried garlic or even garlic powder can be a great sub.
- Coconut Milk: Coconut milk is a classic Thai peanut sauce ingredient. It adds such a creaminess to this hummus. If you don't have coconut milk or can't eat coconut, use a different non-dairy milk instead.
- Liquid Aminos or Tamari: both are a great gluten-free option to add some salty flavor. If you aren't gluten-free, use soy sauce.
- Maple Syrup: For just a hint of sweetness.
- Lemon Juice: For some acidity and tang.
- Fresh Ginger: Ginger adds that fresh kick. The flavors will be much better if you use fresh, but freeze dried or dried ginger will work too.
- Spices: coriander & cayenne.
