2 Ingredient Almond Yogurt Frosting (Healthy & Low Fat)

Made with just 2 ingredients, vegan yogurt and powdered almond butter, this is one low-fat frosting recipe you can enjoy straight from the spoon & guilt-free

For the longest time I’ve always thought that frosting had to be made with either butter or cream to be smooth and creamy, but no longer. I first made this frosting when I was mixing up a homemade yogurt parfait for on a Saturday morning and realized — hey, this would be great on cakes! That’s exactly what I tried next and now I’m using this for everything, frosting cakes, cupcakes, cookies and even pancakes.

Here are the Ingredients used to make this Almond Yogurt Frosting

• Powdered almond butter, unsweetened
• Vegan Yogurt – I used almond yogurt but any yogurt (coconut, oat, dairy milk yogurt) works!

How to Make

Recipe Variations and Optional Add Ins:

• Try adding 1 Tbsp of cocoa powder for a chocolate variation
• Or, instead of cocoa powder, try using chocolate protein powder (just be sure to add a little more yogurt or some almond milk)
• To the frosting, add ½ tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice for a fall-flavored frosting
• Use flavored peanut butter, like this Pumpkin Spice All-Natural Peanut Butter Powder, instead of almond butter powder
• Add vanilla extract for more flavor, or other extracts and flavorings. Try vanilla bean paste, almond extract, coffee extract or maple extract. Maybe some citrus flavors such as lemon or orange extract. Peppermint extract also works.

What are some ways you can use this Almond Yogurt frosting?

• To frost cakes, muffins or cupcakes
• Serve on top of waffles, oatmeal and pancakes
• Use as a dessert dip
• Stuff inside bread (see recipe below!)

How to Store

You can keep this frosting covered at room temperature for up to 24 hours, but if you need to store them longer, you can place them in the fridge for up to a week.

Final Tips

• Feel free to add honey or maple syrup if you find that you’d like it sweeter. Depending on the amount of sweetener you add, you may have to add more powdered almond butter to thicken the frosting.
