Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip

Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt alternative)

¼ cup natural peanut butter

1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (to taste)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Optional: mini chocolate chips or cinnamon for topping

Directions

I start by combining the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl.

I stir everything until it’s smooth and creamy, making sure the peanut butter is fully blended in.

I taste and adjust the sweetness—sometimes a little extra honey hits the spot.

Once it's perfect, I transfer it to a serving bowl and sprinkle mini chocolate chips or cinnamon on top (totally optional but highly recommended).

Then I serve it with apple slices, bananas, pretzels, or graham crackers—it’s always a hit.

Variations

Nut-free option: I swap peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.

Vegan version: I use dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup.

Spiced twist: A dash of cinnamon or pumpkin spice adds a cozy flavor.

Crunch factor: I stir in crushed pretzels or granola for texture.

Chocolate fix: A swirl of melted dark chocolate makes it extra decadent.

Storage/Reheating

I store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. There’s no need to reheat—it’s best served cold or at room temperature. If it thickens slightly in the fridge, I give it a quick stir before serving again.
