Ingredients
-
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
-
½ cup butter (room temperature)
-
2 tablespoons milk
-
½ cup smooth peanut butter
-
½ teaspoon vanilla flavoring
Instructions
-
Cream the Butter and Peanut Butter:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the room-temperature butter and peanut butter together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. -
Add Sugar and Milk:
Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the milk, a little at a time, to reach the desired consistency. -
Mix in Vanilla:
Add the vanilla flavoring and continue mixing until fully incorporated and the frosting is smooth and spreadable. -
Frost and Enjoy:
Spread the peanut butter frosting on your favorite baked goods like cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk to loosen it up. If it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar until it reaches the right consistency.
Notes
-
For a fluffier texture, beat the frosting for an extra 2-3 minutes after adding all ingredients.
-
You can use crunchy peanut butter if you prefer a bit of texture in the frosting.
-
If the frosting is too sweet for your taste, you can reduce the amount of powdered sugar by 1/4 cup.
