Five Minute Pumpkin Spice Caramel Sauce

Ingredients

Ingredients

1/4 cup of butter salted or unsalted
1/4 cup of powdered gentle sweet or equivalent)
1/2 tsp of blackstrap molasses
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1/2 tsp vanilla (I buy this brand and love it)
1/2 tsp pumpkin spice powdered seasoning*
Pinch of mineral salt
1/8 tsp.
xanthan gum ~ optional but helps it turn solid in the fridge and prevents possibility of separating
(do not use NOW gluccie it continues to thicken - I've only used xanthan)

Instructions

Instructions

Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl that is large enough to allow this to bubble up and not over.
Remove from the microwave and add in the sweetener, molasses, and cream. Stir well.
Microwave on high for 2 mins.
Remove from the microwave and stir then microwave on high for another 2 mins.
It will be bubbly and turn a caramel color.
Stir in the vanilla, pumpkin spice, salt and optional xanthan.
As it cools it will thicken.

Notes

*Updated to add that you can add 1/2 tsp or more Pumpkin Spice Flavoring to retain the beautiful caramel color but the flavor will be a little milder too.
