Can I use another sweetener?

Absolutely! Honey, agave, or date syrup work too, but thicker sweeteners mean you'll need more water. If using granulated sugar, blend it with the liquid first or you'll get gritty hummus (learned that the hard way!).

The hummus itself is naturally gluten-free - just watch what you dip in it! We love GF pretzels or rice crackers for safe snacking. Always check labels if you're super sensitive.

Can I omit nut butter?

You can, but it won't be as creamy. I've tried with just tahini or sunflower seed butter in a pinch - still tasty, but lacks that velvety richness. If allergies are a concern, try adding 1 extra tbsp oil instead.
