Ingredients

  • cup vegan butter
  • cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon syrup (corn syrup, agave nectar, maple syrup, or vegan honey)
  • ½ cup plant-based creamer (see notes)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon coffee extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Add the butter to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until melted. Add the brown sugar and stir to combine.
  • Continue cooking until the mixture just begins to boil. Reduce heat and stir regularly as it simmers for 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the creamer and let it cook until it simmers again. Once simmering, cook for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in extracts and salt.
  • Let it cool for a few minutes then transfer to a lidded glass container. Seal tightly and store in the fridge.

Notes

Vegan Creamer

You can use a variety of vegan creamers for this recipe. I prefer to use plain or vanilla-flavored creamer. Also, if your creamer is sweetened, you will want to reduce the sugar amount slightly. 
If you use plant-based milk, they typically have higher water content and so will therefore need to be simmered a bit longer to achieve a thick sauce.
