Add 1 cup of creamy almond butter and continue beating until well combined and smooth.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of molasses.
Gradually add 4 cups of powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low speed until each addition is incorporated. Then increase speed to medium-high and beat for another 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light, fluffy, and perfectly smooth.
