Vegan Cinnamon Vanilla Frosting

Creamy, Easy, and Delicious

This vegan cinnamon vanilla frosting is the easiest thing to make and tastes super delicious. I rarely ever make homemade frosting, however, I finally decided to, and it did not disappoint.

Homemade frosting is actually super easy and quick to make. This recipe only requires 4 ingredients. From start to finish this takes a maximum of 15 minutes and you have a delicious frosting to add onto anything!

I used this frosting on top of my apple loaf, and it worked perfectly! When this frosting is at room temperature its more of a glaze. As it sits in the refrigerator and the butter hardens it turns into a thicker frosting texture.

If you aren’t vegan, you can use any butter you prefer. The cinnamon can also be substituted for any other spice such as pumpkin pie spice.

Some of my favorite ways to use this icing are for:

Vanilla cake

Apple loaf

Pumpkin bread

Cinnamon cake

With fall coming around, there are endless delicious possibilities to use this frosting. I would love to hear what you used this frosting for and how it turned out!
