Vegan Salted Caramel Without Corn Syrup
Description
The recipe combines pure maple syrup with creamy peanut butter made from only peanuts, sea salt, and vanilla extract in a skillet over low to medium heat. Continuous whisking prevents burning and ensures the ingredients blend smoothly. Heating for 2 to 3 minutes thickens the sauce, which will continue to thicken off the heat and further upon cooling.
This salted caramel sauce is vegan and avoids corn syrup by relying on natural sweeteners and nut butter to provide the caramel's body and flavor. The peanut butter contributes richness and smoothness, while sea salt balances sweetness effectively. The vanilla adds aroma and a depth of flavor common to traditional caramel sauces.
The finished sauce can be poured into a jar and stored at room temperature or refrigerated, where it will become thicker; warming before use softens it again. The recipe yields approximately one cup of sauce, sufficient for drizzling on ice cream, fruit, baked goods, or using as a dip.
Adjust salt levels if the peanut butter is pre-salted. Using peanut butter without added sugars or oils is important for the intended consistency.
Ingredients
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup peanut butter creamy
- ¼ tsp salt sea salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a skillet over low medium heat.
- Continue whisking for 2 to 3 minutes or until sauce is thoroughly mixed.
- Once sauce reaches desired consistency, remove from heat. This caramel will thicken the more it cooks.
- Finally, pour into a jar.
- Once sauce has cooled, place lid on jar and store.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter made only from peanuts to achieve the correct texture and flavor.
- If using salted peanut butter, adjust or omit added sea salt to avoid oversalting.
- Whisk continuously while cooking to avoid burning or sticking.
- The sauce will thicken as it cools; remove from heat when desired consistency is reached.
- Store sauce at room temperature; refrigeration will thicken it significantly—warm it before use if needed.
- This recipe yields about one cup of caramel sauce.
