Delicious, smooth and chocolatey, I love this frosting b/c it can be made without any butter!

Peanut butter has always been a guilty pleasure for me… By always, I literally mean by a childhood when I knew that I was guilty of stealing the peanut butter jar from the pantry and eating it with a spoon while hiding from my mom. And the pleasure was how nutty it was, a sweet and salty concoction that melts on my tongue but sticky on the spoon.

So when powdered peanut butter came out I was ecstatic! For a time I added them to almost everything I ate–yogurts, smoothies, savory sauces (to make peanut sauce) and even desserts. So Frosting? Yes, I absolutely had to give it a try. Ta da! Here’s the resulting recipe:

Ingredients used to make this Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting

**I’ve linked some of these ingredients to amazon.com to give you an idea of what they are, but you should also be able to find them in your local grocery store (usually, the natural & organic food section).

  • Powdered Peanut Butter – such as PB Fit. If not, powdered almond butter
  • Cocoa Powder – like this one, or even chocolate protein powder
  • Honey – but you can use other liquid sweeteners of choice like maple syrup, agave syrup, or liquid stevia
  • Coconut Oil – The addition of coconut oil is optional in this recipe. It gives a nice glossy sheen to the chocolate peanut butter frosting when added. But if you want to keep this low fat, feel free to leave it out. The one that’s semi-solid at room temperature like this one

This is the chocolate peanut butter frosting without the added coconut oil. See how it’s not as glossy as the first pic?

Recipe Variations and Optional Add Ins:

  • Instead of cocoa powder, try using chocolate protein powder (just be sure to add a little more water)
  • 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
  • Or powdered almond butter like this one
  • Add vanilla extract for more flavor, or other extracts like peppermint, hazelnut, banana, butter, the list goes on!
