Instructions

Tips
- Choose a high-quality, creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture.
- Use pure maple syrup instead of artificial maple flavoring for the most authentic taste.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute part of the peanut butter with Greek yogurt.
- Experiment with different dipping options like graham crackers, pretzels, or banana slices.
- If the dip seems too thick, thin it out with a little milk or additional maple syrup.
- For a garnish, sprinkle extra cinnamon on top or add a drizzle of maple syrup before serving.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
