Healthy Homemade Butterscotch Chips

Ingredients

No-Bake Version: Yields 1 cup

Bake-able Version: Yields 3½ cups

  • 1 cup Light Coconut Milk (canned)
  • ¼ cup Coconut Oil (melted)
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ¼ cup Molasses
  • ¼ cup Water
  • 1 cup Granulated Erythritol
  • ½ cup  Sucanat
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

For the No-Bake Version:

  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the coconut oil, molasses, and butter flavor.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the erythritol and starch. Dump into the wet ingredients and stir together. Mixture should look like a ball of fudge.
  • Place mixture into a heavy-duty piping bag (do not use a plastic piping bag or sandwich bag as it will break) and pipe onto the cookie sheet. This will take a while, FYI, the mixture is thick and will take some hand strength!
  • Refrigerate the chips for ~3 hours, or until firm. Place into a jar, seal tightly, and refrigerate to store.

For the Bake-able Version:

  • Spray a 9″ brownie pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper both ways.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, coconut oil, and salt.
  • In a small saucepan, whisk together the molasses, water, erythritol, and sucanat.  Add a candy thermometer and place over medium-high heat. Do not stir, just let it come to a boil.
  • At 250 degrees Fahrenheit, remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the milk/oil mixture. Stop whisking once it's all added and return to medium-high heat.
  • When it reaches 250 degrees Fahrenheit, turn off the heat and whisk in the vanilla. Pour into the prepared pan and let sit at room temperature overnight.
  • Refrigerate for ~30 minutes before slicing. Slice the butterscotch square with a sharp knife or pizza cutter (it will be a little sticky). You can either slice the strips you’ve made into chips with a knife or break it into pieces by hand (I started with the knife and moved on to use my fingers).  Place into a jar, seal tightly, and refrigerate to store.
