Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 0.33 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (or agave syrup)
- 2 tablespoons Non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, add the creamy peanut butter and sift in the cocoa powder to ensure there are no lumps. Mix well until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated into the peanut butter.
Step 2
Gradually stir in the maple syrup, one tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. This prevents the frosting from becoming too sticky too quickly.
Step 3
Add the non-dairy milk one tablespoon at a time, stirring continuously, until the mixture reaches your desired spreadable consistency.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness or consistency as needed by adding more maple syrup or a splash of non-dairy milk.
Step 5
Once smooth and well-combined, the frosting is ready to use. Spread it on your favorite vegan cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
