I just made my first (successful) batch and it’s ok, but it doesn’t really taste like store bought at all. And the goal is to get a similar end result since that can be used get other people into making their own instead of buying it since it’s marked up so much.

    How did you make it? I found that it helps to cook the canned garbanzos for a little while longer to break them down more. (I’ve also used a small amount of baking soda since that helps with breakdown but it leaves too much baking soda flavor in the end product even in small amounts like 1/4 tsp)

    Make sure you blend it as much as possible to get it smooth. The texture will be the main difference with storebought.

    Edit: I’ve used this recipe minus the baking soda with great success.
