Both are pastes made of mashed beans (peanuts and chickpeas are beans.) They also have a similar nutrient profile and are both used for similar dishes.

    Peanut butter is paired with sweet while Hummus is paired with savory.

      Depends on how you season the peanut butter. Store bought peanut butter is often chock full of sugar to make it sweet.

      A plain peanut butter with just salt and peanuts goes extremely well with savory. Like on a burger.

      A beef bacon cheeseburger with something like havarti, with peanut butter on it is delicious.

      And a lamb burger with feta and hummus goes really well together.
