Prep Time 2 minutes
Servings 1 cup

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.
