Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup* powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter, salted or unsalted (or vegan butter)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon maple extract, plus more if desired
- 1 to 2 tablespoons milk of choice, plus more if needed
Instructions
- Heat the butter and maple syrup in a small saucepan until the butter melts. In a medium bowl, slowly whisk the powdered sugar, butter and maple syrup, salt and maple extract until a thick glaze forms. Gradually add the milk to make a smooth, pourable glaze. If the glaze is too sticky, add a teaspoon more milk until it comes to a smooth, thick consistency. Taste and if desired, add more maple extract to taste, a few drops at a time.
- Use a fork to drizzle across the bread. Allow approximately 20 minutes for the glaze to dry. The glazed baked good can generally stay up to 5 days at room temperature (without getting sticky!) or for best results, store refrigerated up to 10 days.
Notes
*For a lighter drizzle for pumpkin bread, quick bread, or muffins, make a half batch!
