Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 dry dates pitted
  • 2 tbsp hemp seeds
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½-1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 cup water 240 ml
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients for the vegan buffalo sauce into a blender and blend on high until smooth.
  • Starting with just a little bit of chili powder, taste-test the sauce once blended and see if you want more spiciness, salt or tanginess. Adjust accordingly.
  • Use immediately or place in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to one week.
  • Try the vegan buffalo sauce with some delicious cauliflower bites!

Notes

  • For a low carb vegan buffalo sauce, replace the dates with any calorie-free sweetener. 
  • If you want a spicier sauce, use more chili powder or add some Frank’s RedHot!
  • Instead of hemp seeds, you can use soaked almonds or cashews.
  • For a creamier and higher fat buffalo sauce, simply use more hemp seeds or add some tahini.
  • If you don’t have a high-speed blender, we recommend you soak your dates for at least 30 minutes before making the sauce.
