Maple Syrup Recipes

Maple syrup is a rich, naturally sweet pantry ingredient made from concentrated maple tree sap. Its flavor ranges from light and delicate to deep, caramel-like, and woodsy, making it useful far beyond pancakes and waffles.

In recipes, maple syrup adds sweetness, moisture, and complexity to baked goods, glazes, marinades, salad dressings, breakfast dishes, cocktails, and roasted vegetables. It works especially well when you want a warm, rounded sweetness instead of plain sugar.

Use maple syrup to balance salty, spicy, acidic, or smoky flavors in savory cooking, or to deepen the flavor of cakes, muffins, granola, oatmeal, and fruit desserts. Because it is liquid, it can also affect texture and browning in baked recipes.
