AGAVE MAPLE SYRUP SUBSTITUTE (VEGAN)
Allow me to state for the record: *nothing can or will ever replace real maple syrup*. However, in the past few years, it's been my intention to find a suitable maple syrup substitute. I tested different kinds of sweeteners: brown rice syrup, non-refined cane sugar, honey and barley malt. Agave nectar worked the best. As we all know, real maple syrup is most definitely preferred but this syrup sub will do in emergencies. Note: I use this substitute for pancakes, waffles, etc. I take no responsibility for any cooking disasters that may occur if substituting the syrup for real maple syrup in recipes. ;)

Steps:
- Place the agave nectar in a bowl and whisk in the real maple extract. Tip: start by using only 1/2 teaspoon of the extract.
- Alternatively, place the ingredients in a small sauce pan. Stir; heat syrup until warm.
- Taste and adjust, adding more maple extract if necessary.
Tips:
- Use equal parts agave nectar and maple syrup. This will give you a syrup that is sweet and flavorful, with a slightly floral note from the agave.
- Heat the agave nectar and maple syrup gently. Do not boil, as this will cause the syrup to lose its flavor.
- Add a little bit of lemon juice or vanilla extract. This will help to enhance the flavor of the syrup.
- Store the syrup in a jar or bottle in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 months.
- Use agave maple syrup as a sweetener in your favorite recipes. It can be used in place of sugar, honey, or other sweeteners.
Conclusion:
Agave maple syrup is a delicious and versatile sweetener that can be used in a variety of recipes. It is a good source of vitamins and minerals, and it has a lower glycemic index than sugar. If you are looking for a healthy and natural sweetener, agave maple syrup is a great option.
