Healthy vegan caramel sauce

coconut cream

🥗Healthier: cashew cream

💰Cheaper: coconut milk

Coconut milk is more affordable and still provides creaminess.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Granulated sugar is less expensive and works well for sweetness.

nut butter

🥗Healthier: sunflower seed butter

💰Cheaper: peanut butter

Peanut butter is usually cheaper and adds a similar texture.

maple syrup

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: honey

Honey is often less expensive and provides sweetness.

Blend 2 cups of water with 1/2 cup of oats for 30 seconds and strain to make oat milk.

In a saucepan, add the oat milk and 1/2 cup of unrefined cane sugar, and heat on medium-low.

Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the starch from the oats starts to thicken the caramel.

Simmer for a few minutes until it thickens further, about 5 minutes total.

Turn off the heat and add 2 tablespoons of coconut milk from the top of the coconut milk tin.

Add 1 teaspoon of white miso paste and mix to incorporate.

Use a stick blender to blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.

Let the caramel cool down in a cooler place until it thickens but is still runny.
