Description

Light, fluffy and rich Healthy Cream Cheese Frosting made with Greek yogurt and maple syrup. Low sugar and amazing on carrot cake, banana bread, and pancakes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8oz block of full fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (I used 2%)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer and beat on medium speed for a few minutes, or until it’s smooth and fluffy, scraping down the edges as needed.
  2. Enjoy on Healthy Carrot Cake or Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • This recipe yields about 2 cups of frosting, or enough for a dozen cupcakes or muffins.
  • To make more of an icing that you can drizzle, simply thin a portion in a separate bowl with milk and mix until smooth.
