A rich, creamy, and easy-to-make peanut butter frosting perfect for cakes, cupcakes, brownies, and more.

Ingredients

½ cup butter, softened

1 cup creamy peanut butter

2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1–2 tablespoons milk (optional, for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Beat the softened butter and creamy peanut butter together on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar, about ½ cup at a time, beating well after each addition until mixture thickens.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated and frosting is fluffy.
  4. If frosting is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time, beating after each addition until spreadable consistency is achieved.
  5. Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or brownies as desired.

Notes

  • Chocolate Variation: Add 2 tablespoons cocoa powder for a chocolate peanut butter frosting.
  • Crunchy Variation: Stir in ¼ cup chopped peanuts for texture.
  • Vegan Version: Use vegan butter and plant-based milk.
  • Store frosting in airtight container at room temperature (2 days), refrigerated (1 week), or frozen (3 months).
