INGREDIENTS
½cupsugar
¼cupoat milkfull fat
2tablespoonvegan butter
1teaspoonvanilla extract
¼teaspoonsalt
METHOD
Add sugar to a small sauce pan on medium heat. Cook until sugar dissolves and turns a deep amber color.
Turn down the heat to low. Add butter and continuously whisk to avoid sugar to form clumps. Note: The caramel will start to bubble up when adding butter, but continuously whisk till the butter is all melted.
Slowly whisk in the oat milk until it is all incorporated, then immediately remove from heat.
Whisk in the vanilla extract and salt.
Set aside and let it cool down for 15 minutes. Then transfer it into an air-tight glass jar. Note: The caramel thickens once it is completely cooled down.
NOTES
Don’t burn it: Keep an eye on the sugar as it cooks to avoid burning. If it does, you’ll have to make it over again to prevent a bitter flavor.
Whisk the caramel: Continuously whisk the mixture to ensure a smooth and lump-free sauce.
Adjust the salt: Adjust the salt level to suit your personal taste. You can even omit it!
Be cautious: When you add the butter and milk, the caramel may bubble up, so be extra careful to avoid any burns.
Let it cool: Allow the caramel to cool slightly before using it since it tends to thicken more as it sits.
