Vegan Frosting Recipe (Buttercream)
This vegan frosting recipe is an easy mixture of butter and powdered sugar, with a hint of vanilla and (optional) sprinkles!
Equipment
- Stand Mixer optional but recommended
Ingredients
- 10 tbsp powdered sugar/icing sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup salted vegan butter softened at room temperature // this is half a butter stick
- 1-2 tsp oat milk
- a lot of sprinkles! optional, add desired amount or leave as plain vanilla frosting
Instructions
- Make sure the vegan butter is not melted. Otherwise, the frosting won't hold. It shouldn't be rock solid either, but just softened a little.
- Add all ingredients to a large bowl (except the oat milk), and attach the bowl to a stand mixer. Alternatively, whisk everything by hand.
- Keep mixing until the icing comes together. Now you can add in some oat milk depending on if you want it a little softer or need some more liquid.
- Once you reach the desired consistency, you can refrigerate it to firm it up.
- If you aren't using it the same day, refrigerate in an airtight container to store. Use on baked goods or eat as you wish!
