Frosting Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 tbsp milk (as needed for consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tray with cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

- Pour the batter into the lined muffin tray, filling each liner about 2/3 full.

- Pour in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a splash of milk. Beat until fluffy and smooth, adjusting the milk for desired consistency.
