AIP Easy Caramel Sauce (recipe here)

Instructions

Lightly grease oven-proof mugs with coconut oil or palm oil. Fill large casserole dish ⅓ to ½ full of water. Place dish in oven. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
Into large bowl, place dry ingredients: tiger nut flour, carob powder, tapioca flour, coconut flour, gelatin, baking soda and sea salt.
Add wet ingredients: oil, maple syrup, water and vinegar. Stir well with a fork, or use electric beaters on medium speed to combine.
Scoop batter equally between mugs. Place mugs into hot water bath in casserole dish (in the oven).
Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes for 6 mug cakes, or up to 25 minutes for just 4 mug cakes. Check for doneness, to be sure, with a toothpick (look for moist crumbs adhering).
Make Easy Caramel Sauce while mug cakes bake.
Allow the cakes to cool 1 hour before serving, or serve at room temperature. Top with warm Caramel Sauce. Leave at room temperature until you're ready to serve, or eat immediately.
