Vegan Classic Glaze

Total time5 min

Cook time0 min

Sifted powdered sugar whisks up into a silky, lump-free base, and a splash of vanilla plus a small pinch of salt round out the flavor so it's sweet without being flat. The real trick is in the whisking: you add liquid gradually until the glaze falls off the whisk in that slow, steady ribbon — thick enough to coat, fluid enough to drizzle over anything you're finishing. It comes together in one bowl in just a few minutes, no cooking required. This one is endlessly useful for topping muffins, loaves, cinnamon rolls, or scones whenever you want a glossy, sweet finish. It's a solid, simple staple to keep in a vegan baking rotation.

Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened oat milk, measured 1:1. It works well in drinks, batters, sauces, and soups; avoid it where milk sets the texture, like custards, puddings, and frozen desserts.
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Instructions

1
Sift the powdered sugar into a mixing bowl to remove any lumps.
2
Add the vanilla extract, salt, and 2 tbsp of the milk. Whisk until completely smooth and no dry sugar remains.
