    Making your own homemade vegan buffalo sauce is the easiest thing and it only takes a few minutes to make.

    It’s wonderful as a dip for anything, think French fries, vegan nuggets of any description (that’s vegan fish nuggets proudly featured in the image above) or just add a dash of it to spice up any dish.

    Buffalo sauce is basically hot sauce, made creamy and buttery with the addition of vegan butter. It’s spicy without being too spicy and lasts for weeks in the fridge too.

    Try this buffalo sauce with our delicious vegan buffalo cauliflower and vegan buffalo chicken dip.

    And if you love a good vegan dipping sauce then you’ll love our vegan tartar sauce and our vegan teriyaki sauce too.

      Seeing as I’m encouraged to eat more spices to alleviate my acidity (even though I’m vegan), this is an easy and yummy alternative to the run of the mill spicy sauces! 5 stars

      Might one use coconut oil if you do not have vegan butter?

        Hi Darlene, I believe you can, but I haven’t tried it myself. I’m thinking it might be best to use refined coconut oil so that you don’t have the coconut flavor.
