Ingredients

1 cup smooth peanut butter unsweetened
6 tbsp maple syrup
4 tbsp vegan plain milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

In a medium size bowl, whisk together all the ingredients until very smooth. This can take a minute or so. Keep whisking until the frosting turns into an almost whipped texture. Taste and adjust the sweetness and texture by adding more maple syrup or vegan milk if necessary. You can easily make a sweet peanut butter sauce by adding more milk (perfect for pancakes)
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Can also be frozen.
Use over cupcakes, cakes, brownies, or even on morning toast.

Notes

The mixture will look clumpy at first as the fat from the peanut butter is slowly mixing with the milk and sweetener. But keep going until it is uniform and smooth, which can take 1-2 minutes of stirring.
Use a large enough bowl so you can whisk vigorously, this will help create a better texture.
