  • Nutritional yeast
  • Liquid aminos (or substitute coconut aminos)
  • Water
  • Spices: sea salt, garlic powder, and ground cumin

How to make Copycat Bitchin’ Sauce

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning or liquid as needed—easy as that.

Tips for making the best Bitchin’ Sauce

  1. Use a high-powered blender: A Vitamix or similar blender yields the creamiest texture. If your blender is less powerful, soak the almonds in hot water for 2 hours, drain, then blend.
  2. Start with a small amount of water and add more gradually. Too much liquid will make the sauce thin and runny.

Storing Bitchin’ Sauce

Keep extra sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will thicken slightly when chilled—stir before serving if needed.
