Drop three simple ingredients in jar, use your muscle to shake it up and BAM – caramel sauce in less then 2 minutes. This isn’t a classic caramel sauce, but it also isn’t loaded with white refined sugar and whole dairy cream.
This 2 Minute Dairy Free Caramel Sauce makes a small batch of caramel sauce; perfect to dip an apple into it, or to drizzle over a couple bowls of banana nice cream or perhaps on top of these little Chai Snack Cakes. It works really well eating right off the spoon too!
Happy healthy indulging!

Notes:
- I like the buttery richness ghee gives to the caramel sauce, but coconut oil works too. It’s delish either way.
- I like the texture from crunch nut butter, but choose creamy if you want a creamier, more similar to classic caramel sauce version.
- Change up the flavor slightly by using different spices as noted under the options in the recipe above.
2 minute dairy free caramel sauce (vegan option!)
1 tbls ghee (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
2 tbls grade b maple syrup
2 tablespoons almond butter, creamy or crunchy
Easy additions: pinch of sea salt, dash of vanilla,
Flavor options: an espresso shot, a dash of ground espresso, a shake of Chinese 5-spice, cinnamon or cardamom.
Place all the ingredients in a glass jar (choose one with a tight fitting lid.) Place in the microwave for 20-30 seconds without the lid; OR you can set the jar in hot water for a minute or two to warm and melt the ingredients. Be careful to not get this too hot or the jar and contents will be too hot to handle.
Secure the lid on the jar and shake the caramel sauce vigorously for about 30 seconds until it forms a creamy sauce.
Enjoy immediately. Refrigerate any remaining.
