Hummus isn’t just used as a dip. “Ok”, you might be thinking, “hummus may be delicious to cook with, but only for dinner – you could never put it into desserts, right?” Wrong.

We’ve created 38 recipes, and are constantly adding new, delicious ones to our list (so, keep on checking back – once you’ve cooked your way through these, there are sure to be more!).

Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you bake and cook with humus:
– When Baking:
When you use this dip for baking, treat it an alternative to eggs. It acts as a binder, just like eggs do. Except, you don’t have all the extra cholesterol! (It’s also great if you have an allergy to eggs)
– Use this Dip Instead of:
You can use it as an alternative to may or cheese on a sandwich, or as a replacement for salad dressing. You’ll get an extra kick of protein along with added flavor!
