Ingredients
- ½ cup natural creamy peanut butter (only peanuts or peanuts + salt as the ingredients)
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Add peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract and sea salt to a medium pot and place over medium-low heat for approximately 2 minutes until caramel starts to slightly bubble along the edges, stir frequently then remove from heat and pour into a jar or container of choice.
- Allow caramel to cool. Once it starts to cool it will begin to thicken up. Use when warm, or if you prefer, cover and store in the fridge. If it hardens simply reheat over low heat or microwave in 10 second increments.
Notes
Feel free to use almond butter instead, just make sure it’s nice and drippy.
To store: store this easy vegan caramel sauce recipe in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
To reheat: If you store this vegan peanut butter caramel in the fridge it will likely harden due to the coconut oil. When this happens simply reheat it over low heat or microwave in 10 second increments.
