Thought frosting couldn't be healthy and plant-based? Think again.
Honestly, I used to think that I could eat most foods on a plant-based diet. But there were certain foods, like frosting, that I thought would be impossible to replicate.
You can easily make unhealthy vegan frosting. Actually, it's pretty easy - just mix powdered sugar, your flavoring of choice, along with some non-dairy milk.
While I eat that type of unhealthy food on occasion (because balance) I don't want to make a habit of eating sugary frosting.
So how do you make plant-based frosting? It's easy. But let me tell you about the entire recipe first. After all, you gotta have something to put the frosting on.
So how do you make plant-based frosting that actually tastes good?
The secret is to use naturally sweet ingredients.
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350. Line a muffin tin with liners.
Step 2. In a large bowl, mix the mashed banana, almond butter, baking powder, and apple cider vinegar until combined.
Step 3. Add the oat flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, and ground flax. Mix thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 4. Stir in your desired amount of chocolate chips.
Step 5. Scoop 1/4 of batter into each cup of the lined muffin tin. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
Step 6. Remove the muffins from the oven and let cool completely.
Step 7. Meanwhile, add the mashed sweet potato, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to a food processor.
Step 8. Blend, adding the non-dairy milk until the frosting is smooth. Taste and add date syrup to sweeten, as desired.
Step 9. Pipe or spread the frosting on each cooled muffin. Enjoy!
Preparation: There are a few pieces of this recipe that need to be prepped ahead of time, and others that can be prepped beforehand.
