Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip


  • Author: Kate

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (full-fat or low-fat): Provides a creamy, tangy base and a fantastic source of protein and probiotics. Full-fat offers a richer taste and texture.
  • 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter (natural, unsweetened preferred): The star flavor! Opt for natural peanut butter where the only ingredients are peanuts and maybe salt, for the best flavor and health benefits.
  • 24 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup (to taste): Adds sweetness to balance the tang of the yogurt and the richness of the peanut butter. Adjust according to your preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall flavor profile, adding a warm, aromatic note.
  • Pinch of Salt (optional, especially if peanut butter is unsalted): Helps to bring out the sweetness and balance the flavors.
  • 12 tablespoons Milk or Water (optional, for a thinner consistency): If your dip is too thick, a little liquid can help achieve the perfect texture.

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, your chosen sweetener (honey or maple syrup, starting with 2 tablespoons), and vanilla extract. If using, add the pinch of salt.
  2. Stir Well: Using a spoon or a whisk, stir the ingredients together vigorously until everything is thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy. This might take a minute or two, especially if your peanut butter is a bit stiff.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Give the dip a taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add more honey or maple syrup, one tablespoon at a time, stirring well after each addition.
  4. Adjust Consistency (Optional): If the dip is thicker than you’d like, stir in 1 tablespoon of milk or water. Add more, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Be careful not to add too much, or it might become too runny.
  5. Chill (Recommended but Optional): For the best flavor and texture, cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 15-30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and the dip to thicken slightly.
  6. Serve: Once chilled (or right away if you can’t wait!), transfer the dip to a serving bowl and enjoy with your favorite dippers.
