Description

This rich, nutty Brown Butter Caramel Frosting is the ultimate upgrade for banana muffins, cakes, and quick breads! It comes together right on the stovetop with simple, budget-friendly ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. It settles into the perfect soft, fudgy texture on top of your favorite baked goods.

Instructions

Put the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, continue cooking, stirring frequently, until it foams and the milk solids turn golden brown and smell nutty. This should take about 4–6 minutes. Remove from the heat immediately.
Add brown sugar, milk and salt to the browned butter. Return to medium-low heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Bring it to a gentle boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Don’t overcook it.
Remove from the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and cinnamon. Whisk in 2½ cups of sifted icing sugar gradually. Add more, a tablespoon or two at a time, until you get a thick but spreadable icing.

Notes

This recipe is perfect for Banana muffins, cakes, cup cakes
It should be thick enough that you can spread it with the back of a spoon, but soft enough that it slowly settles into the top of the muffin.
