There is nothing more tantalizing than a stack of pancakes drizzled with maple syrup topped with a dollop of whipped cream.

Keto Pancake Syrup

 

Make your own pancake syrup to cut back on sugar. Syrups being sold in the market have at least 66 percent sugar which can easily wreak havoc to your ketogenic diet. You can make your own pancake syrup that’s sugar-free and without any added calories or carbs—in 10 minutes!

 

Ingredients

• 1cup water
• 1 1/2tbsp maple extract
• 1cup powdered Erythritol
• 1/2tsp Xanthan gum

 

Instructions

1. Mix water, maple extract and Erythritol in a saucepan. Bring it to a low boil and simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally so the Erythritol will dissolve. Allow to cool down for 1 to 2 minutes.
2. Pour into a blender while sprinkling half of the Xanthan gum lightly and evenly on top. Puree until no lumps appear. Do so again with the other half of the Xanthan gum.
3. Let it stay for a few minutes. This will make the syrup thicken. When constitution is still thinner, add more Xanthan gum gently again as you puree on a blender.

 

Tips. If syrup crystallized, re-heat then, whisk until smooth. Instead of granulated sweetener, used powdered variety to reduce crystallization.
