This AIP BBQ Sauce is a sweet, tangy, and smoky alternative to traditional BBQ sauces, made without nightshades or refined sugar. Perfect for grilled meats, roasted veggies, or as a dipping sauce, it’s quick to make and packed with wholesome flavor!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey as a substitute)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp blackstrap molasses
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 3/4 tsp smoked salt (or regular sea salt)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan. Stir to combine.
  2. Cook the Sauce: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture begins to bubble, about 3–5 minutes. The sauce will thicken as it heats.
  3. Remove from Heat: Once it starts boiling, remove from heat immediately to avoid splattering. Let it cool slightly.
  4. Serve or Store: Use the sauce right away or transfer it to an airtight container for later use.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Use as a glaze for grilled chicken, a dip for roasted veggies, or drizzle over pulled pork.

Tips & Tricks:

  • For a smokier flavor, smoked salt is ideal but optional.
  • Stir constantly while cooking to prevent sticking or burning.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze in small portions (ice cube trays work well) for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently.
