Homemade Greek Yogurt Dip

Homemade Greek Yogurt Dip

Our family LOVES this dip for dipping their apple slices and other fruits in or even as a spread on muffins, graham crackers and more! My Husband is especially distraught if the dip is getting down to unacceptably low levels or disappears altogether. I do my best to keep the supply at a constant to appease the masses.
(Note: I ALWAYS double the recipe because it is such a favorite and goes FAST!)


Ingredients:
  • 2- 6 Ounce Containers or 1 1/2 Cups Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 Cup Peanut Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  
Directions:

Place all ingredients in a bowl and stir them together. 

Sprinkle the top of the dip with a bit more cinnamon, then enjoy the dip with apple or other fruit slices. 

You can also use it as a spread on muffins, graham crackers, and more. 

Party guests find this delicious treat to be favorite as well!

Also, drizzling a bit of melted dark chocolate over the apples and/or adding some chopped nuts, makes for quite an amazing dessert too!

Whole Wheat Banana Walnut Muffins

Whole Wheat Banana Walnut Muffins

These muffins contain no sugar, but instead use honey and the bananas themselves, to sweeten them.

Note: If you don't care for nuts, just omit them and make the recipe as follows.


Ingredients:

Dry:
  • 2 1/4 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Cup Finely Chopped Shelled Walnuts

Wet:
  • 2 Eggs
  • 4 Bananas
  • 1/2 Cup Honey 
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1/3 Cup Coconut Oil
  • 6 Ounces or 1 1/2 Cups Greek Yogurt
  
Topping:
  • 1/2 Cup Finely Chopped Shelled Walnuts


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Put all dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk them together.

Place all wet ingredients in the mixer and mix them until they are well blended.

Then, add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix them completely to form the muffin batter.

Lightly grease a muffin pan or use muffin liners and fill each cup 3/4 of the way full.

Sprinkle the tops of each one with the finely chopped shelled walnuts and place them in the oven.

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.


Yields: 24 Muffins
