Healthy "hummus"

in Recipes
3/4 cup butter or margarine
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup quick cook oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 3/4 cups Chocolate Chips
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

If you blend it all together in a food processor, it had the exact same texture as hummus. And soooo so good. I'll never go back.

    I can't have the oats or the flour. Is there something I can substitute? Or can I just leave those out?

    This is how my mom always made hummus for us, and she never had trouble getting us to eat it. Mom is a good cook.

    This hummus sounds soooo much better than the hummus I've usually had.

    Definitely trying this soon!

    I'd seriously consider forming that into small pattie shapes and baking it in the oven. Baked hummus patties, yum - nutritious and healthy!

    That's a great idea! I'll bet it'd be great with a big healthy glass of milk!

    I bet you could. This recipe would make an awesome sauce for it:

    1 packed cup brown sugar
    1/2 cup half-and-half
    4 tablespoons butter
    Pinch salt
    1 tablespoon vanilla extract

    I just tried it. This is the best hummus I've ever had!!


    Your mom is really a fantastic cook. Normally I don't care that much for the stuff, but now I'm going to tell everyone how great hummus is. And it's healthy, so bonus!

    no they didn't do it by accident - they simply THINK they are funny.. honestly i thought that this was a place for people to support one another, not to put each other down or to make fun of others for their tastes. completely disappointed in the way people act on here since we all know more than half of you wouldn't have the balls to act this way face to face with someone. computer screens work wonders for you all!
