Wheat Free Vegan Strawberry Sauce
Bright, jammy, and bursting with real berry flavor, this strawberry sauce is the kind of thing you'll want to drizzle over absolutely everything. It comes together in a single saucepan with just a handful of clean, simple ingredients — fresh or frozen strawberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. The technique of crushing only half the berries is the secret move here, giving you a sauce that's thick and glossy but still has satisfying chunks of fruit throughout. Lemon zest and vanilla are optional additions, but they add a subtle brightness and warmth that really round out the flavor. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of wheat, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — it's just good, honest fruit. Serve it warm over pancakes or ice cream, or let it cool and spoon it onto yogurt, oatmeal, or anything else that could use a little something special.
