Almond Butter Dip Recipe

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• ½ cup natural almond butter
• 1 tablespoon vanilla plant-based protein powder
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened plant milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: Stir the Almond Butter

Give the natural almond butter a good stir before measuring. Natural almond butter can separate over time, so mixing the oils back in helps create a smooth, creamy base for your dip.

Step 2: Combine the Base

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond butter, vanilla plant-based protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Continue whisking until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 3: Thin to Dipping Consistency

Add the plant milk one tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition. Continue until the dip reaches a soft, scoopable consistency. If you’d like a thinner almond butter dip, simply add a little more milk.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15 minutes. This short chilling time helps the dip firm up slightly and allows the flavors to come together.

Serve with apple slices, banana rounds, strawberries, pretzels, graham crackers, or any of your favorite dippers.

• Add a pinch of pumpkin pie spice for a seasonal twist.

Recipe Notes

This vegan almond butter dip is dairy-free as written, but be sure to use a dairy-free protein powder and plant milk if you’re serving it to vegan guests.

If you don’t have protein powder on hand, you can leave it out entirely and still enjoy a delicious almond butter dip. The protein powder is what transforms it into a protein almond butter dip, but the recipe works beautifully without it.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Give the dip a quick stir before serving, as natural separation may occur.
