Calories: 121kcal
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese , softened
- 2 tablespoons butter , softened
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup , or powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In the bowl of a mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and honey on high for 2-3 minutes, or until smooth. Once the muffins are completely cooled, spread or pipe the frosting on the muffins as desired.
- To easily pipe the frosting, transfer it into a zipper-type bag and snip a bottom corner off the bag, about 1/4-inch up from the corner. Pipe frosting by squeezing the frosting out of the hole onto the muffin.
- Apply frosting when the muffins are completely cooled. Enjoy right away or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Yields enough frosting for 6 muffins if piped, 8 muffins if spread with a spatula.
