Make The Creamiest Homemade Peanut Butter Yogurt With One Easy Trick

When you see pictures of it online, homemade peanut butter yogurt looks like a delicious and smooth creamy treat. But often, turning that into a reality is a bit trickier than it looks, creating an almond awkward texture that just won't fully mix in. If you've been struggling with this little breakfast dilemma, you need to stop making these peanut butter mistakes and get a more satisfying morning meal on the go.

The solution is easier than you think. Just a splash of milk could be all you need to whisk the peanut butter and yogurt up into a much smoother texture. The reasoning behind this is simple: yogurt and peanut butter are both dense and fat-based products that will struggle to blend together without throwing them in a blender. A little milk is all you need to thin it out into a much more mixable consistency.

And this technique doesn't have to be reserved to peanut butter, you could also do it with cashew, almond, or any kind of nut butter you enjoy best. And it works with any of the the best and worst high-protein yogurt to buy at the store, as it could help turn even some of the more chalky yogurt varieties into something much more creamy and delicious.

In terms of what milk to use, the world is your oyster. If you're sticking to dairy, regular milk with regular yogurt works a great. Dairy free? Oat milk would be a good choice, as it has a blander taste that won't overwhelm the other components. Almond milk would be another great option, light but offering a nutty flavor that may complement the nuttiness of the peanut butter. But as it's lower in fat, you may need to add slightly more to achieve the same creamy effect. And warming the milk up as well may also be a good idea, as that will allow it to really whisk into the yogurt and break down the peanut butter with ease.

Coconut milk would be a good option for a slightly more tropical twist, and it has a high fat content so you know it would create a nice silky texture. This particular combination would be a great way to sweeten Greek yogurt with pantry staples you already have; simply top it with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup afterwards for a delicious coconut and peanut flavored breakfast.

Regardless of which milk you choose, the technique is the same: Mix peanut butter into yogurt and then thin it out with some milk, giving it a good whisk until all elements are fully combined. It will deliver a gorgeous and spoonable peanut butter yogurt, no clumps, no fuss.
