Sugar Free Bbq Sauce Chiptoles Recipe

Brace yourself for a smoky adventure in your kitchen as we whip up a tantalizing homemade barbecue sauce that’ll elevate your grilling game to legendary status!

I adore preparing a scrumptious BBQ sauce that contains no sugar whatsoever and is bursting with taste. With a base of tomato sauce and a zesty splash of apple-cider vinegar, this Chipotle BBQ sauce gets its robust, smoky depth from Worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke.

My favorite element is the kick from chipotle powder and paprika, which, in combination with a sugar substitute like erythritol, gives this sauce a truly sugar-free experience.

• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons liquid smoke
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon chipotle powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

How to Make this Sugar Free Bbq Sauce Chiptoles Recipe

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, mix together the tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, and water. Stir well and smooth until consistent.

2. Stir the Worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke into the saucepan.

3. Mix the spices very well to ensure that they are uniformly distributed. They are:

– paprika,
– chipotle powder,
– mustard powder,
– onion powder,
– garlic powder,
– black pepper,
– salt.

4. Add the cayenne pepper now if you want additional heat. Otherwise, just skip this step.

5. Mix the granulated sugar substitute into the mixture, making sure it is completely dissolved before proceeding.

6. Gently simmer the mixture and stir occasionally. This prevents sticking and helps meld the flavors.

7. Once it comes to a simmer, cut the heat down to low and allow the sauce to cook for about 20 to 30 minutes. This gives the sauce time to thicken and the flavors time to deepen.

8. Periodically taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. As desired, add more chipotle powder for smokiness or more sugar substitute for sweetness.

9. After the sauce has attained your desired thickness and flavor, take it off the heat and allow it to cool a bit.

10. Put the barbecue sauce into a clean, sterile jar or an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator, and for the best taste, use it within two weeks. Consider it a marinade, a glaze, or a sauce you can dip just about anything in!

FAQ

• Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of tomato sauce?Indeed, fresh tomatoes can be pureed to create a sauce; merely reduce it a little before using in the recipe.
• What if I don’t have chipotle powder?Smoked paprika can be used for a different, smoky flavor or chili powder can be used to add heat.
• Can I omit the liquid smoke?Yes, but it will change the smoky flavor profile of the sauce. Alternatively, use smoked paprika to help capture the taste.
• Is this sauce suitable for diabetics?This sauce does not have any sugar; it uses a sugar substitute in its place. This in my book, makes it a far better option for people with diabetes. But as with all dietary changes, it’s best to have a chat with your healthcare provider about this before you take the plunge.
• How long can I store this sauce?The sauce can be kept in a sealed container in the fridge for 14 days and still be safe for consumption.
• Can this sauce be used for marinading meats?Indeed, it serves as an excellent marinade for poultry, pork, or beef. For optimal outcomes, let the meat steep for a few hours or preferably overnight.
• What type of sugar substitute works best?Great choices are erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, as they provide sweetness without the calories of sugar.

Sugar Free Bbq Sauce Chiptoles Recipe Substitutions and Variations

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar can be swapped with 1/2 cup white vinegar or 1/2 cup red wine vinegar for a different flavor profile.
You can replace 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce with 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari, if you prefer a gluten-free option.
Milder flavors can be substituted for chipotle powder. For example, smoked paprika, in the amount of a tablespoon, can be used. Even better, though, is to use it in the same manner—using 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika, instead of chipotle, in a bowl of guacamole. Results: Minimal. Very little difference in taste.
2 tablespoons of granulated sugar substitute can be replaced with either of the following:
• 2 tablespoons stevia
• 1 tablespoon honey (note: using honey will add natural sugars).
1 teaspoon onion powder can be substituted with 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh onion for a more pronounced onion flavor.

Pro Tips

1. Enhance the Smokiness: For an even smokier flavor, consider adding an extra dash of liquid smoke or a pinch of smoked paprika. This can deepen the smoky profile without overpowering the sauce.
