Cinnamon Bun Dip
Vegan Cinnamon Bun Dip tastes just like the top of a cinnamon bun and is perfect for dipping with apples. Best of all, its healthy! This dip is also Paleo, Dairy Free, and Gluten Free.
Apples dipped in almond butter could be one of my all time favourite snacks. This recipe is a spin on that and a dairy free version of something I used to eat all the time using cream cheese and brown sugar. The dip tastes just like the topping of a cinnamon bun which lets be honest, is by far the best part it.
This Vegan Cinnamon Bun Dip tastes like fall in a bowl. The soaked cashews are blended with a simple combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, almond milk and honey until smooth and creamy. I like to toss chopped walnuts or pecans into the dip for a bit of added crunch.
I love having this for breakfast in the morning but I think that it would also make a great after school snack for kids. You can also spoon some of the Vegan Cinnamon Bun Dip onto bananas, pears or peaches, or for an easy dessert, serve it on top of oven baked apples.

How long will it last, I want to make it the day before.
This will last 2-3 days so you can definitely make it ahead of time
What do you recommend as best way to soak the cashews?
What would be a good alternative to the cashews? My son is allergic to cashews. I know my kids would love this.
Can he have other nuts such as macadamia? That would work well in place of the cashews.
Tasty! Daughter (3.5y/o) and I both enjoyed this dip. I added a little more almond milk so my blender could make it smooth, and a pinch of artificial sweetener. I’ll certainly make this dip again (and again!)
So happy to hear that you and your daughter both enjoyed it!!
