Add or replace your usual sweetener with maple syrup:
Use to sweeten your coffee
Drizzle over ice cream
Substitute maple syrup for sugar while baking or cooking:
1/2 cup sugar = 6 tablespoons of maple syrup
1 cup sugar = 3/4 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 cups sugar = 1 cup maple syrup
2 cups sugar = 1 1/2 cups maple syrup
*NOTE* Make sure to reduce other liquids in the recipe by 2 or 3 tablespoons and reduce your oven temperature by 25°. This method won't work for all recipes, but does really well with soft cookies, breads, pie fillings, etc.
