It took me quite a bit of trial and error to get this keto maple syrup just right.

This syrup won't harden in the refrigerator, but it does still tend to separate and require a vigorous shake before use.

Adding additional xanthan gum causes too much thickening for our tastes.

More Than A Keto Pancake Syrup!

This Keto Maple Syrup is so much more than a pancake syrup.

Try it on salmon to make a Keto Maple Glazed Salmon.

It's also great on pork chops, chicken breasts and kabobs!

We've even recently been experimenting with making keto maple glazed bacon! Oh yeah!

Keto Sweetener Substitutions

If you haven't already tried Bocha Sweet, I highly recommend you do. 

It's a superfood alternative sweetener made from a Japanese pumpkin called the Kabocha pumpkin.

Most alternative sweeteners will work in this recipe. You can use Monk Fruit Sweetener, Xylitol or a blend like Swerve.

I have not tested this recipe using liquid stevia because I'm not confident of the results without the bulk of some kind of granulated sugar substitute.

I only refer you to products and brands that I have used in the past or are currently using and that I like the quality of. In some cases, products are discontinued and I find a substitution. This is usually only for kitchen gadgets but sometimes companies stop making ingredients too!
