Spiced Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip
A quick and easy protein-packed dip combining creamy Greek yogurt with peanut butter and warming spices. Ready in 10 minutes with no cooking required. Perfect with fruit, veggies, or as a breakfast spread.
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt full-fat or low-fat
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter natural or conventional
- 1 tablespoon milk dairy or plant-based, plus more as needed
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground red chile pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients: Add vanilla Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, milk, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground red chile pepper, and salt to a medium bowl.
- Beat until light and fluffy: Using an electric mixer, beat on low speed to incorporate ingredients. Increase to medium-high speed and beat for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes lighter in color and fluffier in texture.
- Taste and adjust: Taste the dip and adjust seasoning as needed. If too thick, add milk one teaspoon at a time, mixing after each addition until desired consistency is reached.
- Transfer and serve: Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to use. The dip holds its consistency at room temperature for several hours.
Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Flavors improve over time.
Consistency: If dip thickens during storage, stir in milk one teaspoon at a time to restore desired consistency.
Before serving: Let refrigerated dip sit at room temperature for 15 minutes for best texture.
Serving suggestions: Serve with apple slices, bananas, strawberries, celery sticks, graham crackers, pretzels, or spread on toast or waffles.
Variations: Add 2 tablespoons cocoa powder for chocolate version, use chunky peanut butter for texture, or double the chile pepper for extra heat.
Substitutions: Use plain Greek yogurt with 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup if vanilla yogurt unavailable. Plant-based yogurt works for vegan option.
Do not freeze: This dip does not freeze well due to yogurt content.
