How many of you have been doing keto and have REALLY been craving some BBQ chicken wings?? Or, how many of you have decided you love the sugar free BBQ sauce from the grocery store only to realize that you don't love the sweetener used in it?? WELL DO I HAVE A SOLUTION FOR YOU!!!
Here it is, ya'll! A super delicious sugar free BBQ sauce that is sweetened with Stevia/Erythritol! This stuff is SO good! It has a touch of sweet, a touch of spicy, and a nice little zing to it! I was so happy with the way that it turned out! I'll definitely be making this again!
Super simple ingredients, and SUPER easy to make! You basically just throw all the ingredients in a sauce pan and let it simmer for about a half hour! You do want to stir it often, so it's not just a dump and go type of thing... but it's not too hard to go in and stir in between cleaning the house or even watching TV! I was preparing all my other ingredients for meal prep while cooking this, so it made it quite easy to just turn around and give it a good stir every few minutes.
I am so excited to use this recipe more in the future! Once grilling season is here, this will be on the MONEY! 😁 Speaking of money, the best part about this recipe is that it is SUPER cheap to make! Around $5. And it makes A LOT! Like, I had 2 empty squeeze bottles that this recipe completely filled up! And that was after I used some of it to marinate the chicken for my meal prep! Way less than paying for sugar free BBQ sauce from the store! Yessss! 🤑 So, here's how you make it!
Ingredients:
18 oz Tomato Paste (I did one 12 oz can and one 6 oz can)
1/3 cup Powdered Stevia/Erythritol Blend
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tbsp Worcestershire
1 tbsp Hickory Liquid Smoke
1 tbsp Garlic Powder
1 tbsp Onion Powder
1 tbsp Paprika
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Chili Powder
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper (more or less, depending on how spicy you want it)
2 cups Water (more or less, depending on thickness
Instructions:
1. Place tomato paste, Stevia/Erythritol blend, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire, liquid smoke, and all spices into a medium/large saucepan. Mix together gently before turning on heat to medium/high.
2. While whisking, pour 1 cup of water into the mixture. Let come to a simmer.
3. Check thickness. You want it to be a bit thinner than normal BBQ sauce because it will thicken as it simmers. My sauce needed over 2 cups of water, so you decide what is best.
4. Check flavors. If you want it sweeter, add a bit more sweetener. If you want it spicier, add more cayenne. If it's too sweet, add more salt.
5. Let simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, stirring every few minutes with your whisk.
6. Voila! You're finished! Use sauce for whatever tickles your fancy, and bottle/jar the leftovers! Enjoy!
Love always,
