Ingredients

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

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)

1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt (optional)

Mini chocolate chips or crushed peanuts for topping (optional)

Directions

In a medium bowl, I combine the Greek yogurt and peanut butter.

I stir in the maple syrup (or honey) and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

If my peanut butter is unsalted, I add a small pinch of salt for balance.

I transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips or crushed peanuts, if using.

Then I serve it right away with apple slices, banana chunks, pretzels, or graham crackers.

I store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Variations

I like switching things up depending on my mood. Here are some easy variations:

Swap the peanut butter for almond butter or cashew butter for a different nutty twist.

Use flavored Greek yogurt like vanilla or honey for added sweetness.

Add cinnamon or cocoa powder for an extra flavor boost.

Stir in some chia seeds or flaxseed for added texture and fiber.

Make it dessert-ready by layering it with granola and fruit for a parfait.

Storage/Reheating

I keep this dip in an airtight container in the fridge, and it stays fresh for up to 3 days. I give it a quick stir before serving since the ingredients may settle slightly. There’s no need to reheat it—it’s best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
