This low-carb BBQ sauce is tangy, sweet, and super easy to customize.  Since it’s a sugar-free BBQ sauce that does not need to be cooked, it’s a breeze to make.

Enjoy this keto bbq sauce recipe on chicken, burgers, chicken wings, pork chops, ribs, veggies, or anytime you are craving a sweet sauce condiment while on a keto diet.

This homemade BBQ sauce uses easy-to-source ingredients, minus the high fructose corn syrup found in traditional BBQ sauce.

Here’s the thing: the sauces on the market generally have a good amount of sugar and, therefore, are not a good idea for anyone doing a low-carb diet.

You’ll be hard-pressed not to find on the market a sauce that does not include some sort of sugar, molasses, honey, or syrup in them. 

The high carb count is prohibitive on the ones that are found in a grocery store. After all, none of those sweeteners are low in carbs.

The good news is that with this easy homemade sauce you can customize it allowing you to control the amount of sweetener that is used and even the level of spice allowing you to have a spicy bbq sauce that is keto-friendly.

Best Sugar-Substitutes For A Low-Carb BBQ Sauce

I am recommending you use a brown sugar substitute in this recipe I prefer Lakanto Brown Monk Fruit Sweetener; although you can use their white granulated sweetener it will not have the same depth of flavor.

Having said that, I’m also partial to  Brown Swerve sugar substitute which is an erythritol blend. Similar to Lakanto, it uses sugar alcohols and has a 0 % impact on blood sugar.

Another great option is Surkin gold, in my opinion, this brand has the texture and flavor perfected.

You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure if you prefer to use a stevia-based sweetener. But Pyure does not make a brown sugar substitute.

Due note, that if this is your pick stevia, make sure you reduce the amount called for in the recipe by half since it’s a much sweeter option.

You could also use will an allulose brown sugar-free sweetener, like Whole Earth. 

How To Customize Sugar-Free BBQ Sauce

Feel free to get creative with the ingredients so that it becomes your recipe. Don’t be afraid to experiment. The following are some easy ways to change up the recipe

• Add your favorite spices: If you like things a little spicy, feel free to add some chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste. Or, if you prefer a sweeter sauce, add a tablespoon or two more of your favorite sugar substitute.
• Substitute the chipotle powder for smoked paprika for a milder, less spicy option.
• Add 1/4 teaspoon of cumin powder for an extra-smoky flavor.
• Like a tangier sauce? Add a couple more tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar. This will also give you a thinner sauce for those who don’t want a thicker sauce.
• Add freshly minced onions or garlic for a chunkier sauce, if that is your preference.

How To Store Keto BBQ Sauce

The best way to store your homemade sauce is in a mason jar or any other airtight container in the refrigerator. 

I recommend you plan on using the sauce within two weeks, if you decide to add any fresh garlic or onions, use it within the first week for best results.
