Indulge in the delightful sweetness of Easy Keto Maple Syrup, a guilt-free alternative that will satisfy your cravings without derailing your keto lifestyle. Made with a few simple ingredients, this syrup is low in carbs and high in flavor, allowing you to enjoy the rich taste of maple without compromising your health goals.

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup granulated erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
• 1 teaspoon maple extract
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, combine the water and granulated erythritol (or your preferred sweetener) over medium heat. Stir until the sweetener has dissolved completely.
2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the maple extract and vanilla extract. These flavorings will give the syrup its distinct maple taste.
4. If you prefer a thicker consistency, sprinkle the xanthan gum over the syrup while whisking continuously. This step is optional but helps achieve a syrup-like texture.
5. Allow the syrup to cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a glass jar or bottle. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
6. Once completely cooled, store the Easy Keto Maple Syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Shake or stir well before each use.
7. Drizzle this delicious syrup over keto pancakes, waffles, or even use it as a sweetener in your morning coffee. Enjoy the heavenly flavor without worrying about excessive carbs!

Note: The xanthan gum helps thicken the syrup and gives it a smooth consistency. However, if you don't have it on hand, the syrup will still taste great without it.
