PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING

Published on by Gen George2 Comments

If you like the taste of Peanut Butter in general, then you are going to love this frosting!! I expected peanut butter mixed with butter, mixed with a whole lot of icing sugar to be so overly sweet, but honestly, it isn’t! It’s so delicious that I think this might be one of my all time favorite buttercream frostings.

It’s best to use a smooth peanut butter, not crunchy and add it to the butter to incorporate well. You can use a stand mixer of a hand mixer to make this recipe. You will also need a spatula and your frosting knife or piping bag and tips.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 100g Butter (unsalted & softened at room temperature)
  • 100g Smooth Peanut Butter
  • 225g Icing/Powdered Sugar (sifted)
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons Milk

HOW TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING:

Start by adding the butter to a large mixing bowl or to the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat the butter for about 5 minutes or until it is lighter in color and doubled in amount.

Add the peanut butter to the butter and mix well to combine the two.

Add half of the sifted icing sugar and mix for about 3-5 minutes, as you want the sugar to incorporate really well before adding the rest of the sugar. Add the remaining icing sugar and repeat as before.

Finally, add the milk to obtain the required consistency that you would like. More milk will make it looser and less milk will make it stiffer so it depends on you.

Your Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting is now ready to frost your delicious cakes or cupcakes. Thus frosting goes really well with either Vanilla or Chocolate cakes and cupcakes.

I’ve never found a granola that I really like, so I decided to make my own homemade granola with yummy smooth peanut butter and you can choose between honey or maple syrup! I have never bought granola from a store since!

  • Preparation Time: 5 minutes
  • Baking Time: 25 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • This recipe will make 2 to 3 cups of Granola

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups Oats
  • ½ teaspoon ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 6 Tablespoons Natural Smooth Peanut Butter
  • ¼ cup Honey OR Maple Syrup (vegan)
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract

METHOD:

Preheat your oven to 160°C/325°F and grease a large baking tray or lay a sheet of baking paper down.

In a bowl, mix together the oats, salt and cinnamon and set aside.

In a microwave safe dish or on the stove top, melt the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) together until smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.

Mix in the dry ingredients until well combined. Spread the mixture onto the baking sheet.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the granola is lightly browned. Stir the granola half way through.

Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. It should harden and be in clumps.
