Ugh, there is nothing like ooey, gooey caramel to make my heart sing. I may be a health enthusiast, but boy oh boy do I have a sweet tooth! And salted caramel is hands down one of my favourite sweet things to eat. But of course, caramel is usually made from sugar (or worse, high fructose corn syrup) neither of which are great in large quantities. While sugar is sugar (meaning just because it’s natural, doesn’t mean it won’t spike your blood sugar or cause weight gain), this Paleo Vegan Caramel Sauce is a healthier swap!
Coconut sugar is a tad lower on the glycemic index, and you have the benefit of eating something made of wholesome ingredients. No weird fillers or artificial flavours here! This recipe goes great on my Paleo Salted Caramel Brownies (recipe coming soon!) or you can use it to dip your fruit in for snack, pour over your nice-cream, or eat with a spoon! Below is an Paleo Apple Caramel Square recipe that I tested–but the base didn’t hold up together the way I wanted. Still, it was delicious.
