Vegan Pumpkin Caramel Sauce
Making this vegan pumpkin caramel sauce is setting the tone for fall. I know I’m early but I’m getting to feel the pumpkin recipe vibes already. It is so delicious poured over Vegan Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes.
This caramel sauce can be enjoyed all year round, with a can of leftover pumpkin puree you are set. As a matter of fact, I enjoy pumpkin recipes all year round in my home, like Vegan Pumpkin Soup Jamaican Style, Vegan Pumpkin Muffins, Mediterranean Pumpkin Pizza.
Vegan Pumpkin Caramel Sauce
Making your own caramel sauce always tastes better than store-bought, it is dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, you get to have total control on the ingredients you add. For instance, you can easily substitute the sweetener in this recipe with maple syrup, stevia, dates or your favorite sweetener.
Add more salt for a salted caramel sauce. For the spices, you can add your own combination of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg. How about adding a milder spice blend combination of cardamon and coriander?
I love to use coconut sugar because it has a natural caramel flavor. You can increase the amount if you would love a sweeter flavor.
