Ingredients

½ cup nut butter peanut, almond, or cashew
½ cup maple syrup

Instructions

Add the nut butter and maple syrup to a bowl.
Whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes, until the mixture becomes smooth, glossy, and slightly fluffy.
If the sauce feels too thick, whisk in water 1 teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
Use immediately or store in the fridge.

Notes

Whisking a little longer than you think helps it turn extra glossy and smooth.
Almond butter gives a more classic caramel vibe, while peanut butter adds a deeper, toastier flavor.
A pinch of flaky salt or a splash of vanilla takes this from great to dangerously good.
