Cooking with Maple

cooking with maple syrup

Substitute sugar with maple syrup in all your creations!

Real Maple Syrup provides a sweet and lovely maple flavor while also providing anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-cancer antioxidants! And, in comparison to brown sugar, real maple syrup has significantly more calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc as well as other minerals.

The key to these health benefits and the excellent flavor of maple syrup in your cooking and baking is to be picky about your syrup. Don’t be fooled by “Maple-Flavored Pancake Syrup,” which has ingredients like corn syrup, maple flavorings and food colorings. Yikes.

You can also use our Maple Sugar instead of cane sugar to sweeten drinks, sprinkle on top of oatmeal & cereal, or to add to a meat rub recipe for some sweetness and maple flavor! Or, bake with Maple Sugar instead of cane sugar when making your cookies, cakes and cinnamon rolls.

You can also skip the cooking and just try Maple Sugar on yogurt, mixed with cinnamon, on pretzels, on muffins, and on toast, or on your cereal!

Each recipe is different but since Maple Sugar is sweeter than granulated sugar you might want to start by using a little more than half of the sugar the recipe calls for when making substitutions so that your recipes aren’t overly sweet.
