3 Minute Paleo Salted Caramel Sauce
Paleo Salted Caramel Sauce – a 3 minute microwave caramel sauce made with just 5 ingredients: coconut oil, maple syrup, almond butter, salt and vanilla! Paleo, dairy free, refined sugar free, gluten free and vegan!
This paleo salted caramel sauce is honestly…magical.
It tastes exactly like caramel sauce, even though it is dairy free and refined sugar free. The two MAIN ingredients in caramel sauce.
Instead this caramel sauce is made with coconut oil, almond butter, pure maple syrup, a splash of vanilla and a pinch of salt. And it’s all made in the microwave in 3 minutes!
If you’ve made homemade caramel sauce before, you know what a pain it is to melt the sugar to the perfect amber color. Much too easy to make a mistake and ruin the whole batch.
Instead, my paleo salted caramel sauce is 100% fool proof. It is impossible to mess up.
In a microwave safe bowl, you melt the coconut oil until it is in liquid form. Then you add the almond butter, pure maple syrup, splash of vanilla and pinch of salt. Whisk and it’s ready to go! I love using my homemade almond butter, but store bought works as well! Just make sure it is well stirred.
Depending on how warm your caramel sauce is will determine how “runny” it is. When the sauce is very warm, it is more liquid. As it cools to room temperature it thickens up. My favorite way to serve it is just barely warm.
I store my paleo salted caramel sauce in wide mouth 1/2 pint mason jars. It is the perfect size to hold the whole batch. The caramel sauce will keep refrigerated for at least 1 month. But I doubt it will last that long before it is all eaten!
This paleo salted caramel sauce is delicious on just about everything. I’ve been enjoying it with apples as a treat after I put the baby to bed while I watch Netflix.

Ahhhhh, I was just going to make this based on the picture but then realized it’s microwaved. I don’t have a microwave……so I’ll try it in a small sauce pan over low heat. Fingers crossed as it looks luscious!
Stovetop works too! Hope you loved it Kathy!
