Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Swerve brown sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups warm water (divided)
- 1 ½ tablespoons maple extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the xanthan gum mixture: Place ½ cup of warm water in a small bowl. Add the xanthan gum and whisk quickly and continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes well blended. This step ensures the syrup will have a smooth, slightly thick texture.
- Heat the sugar substitute: Pour the remaining 1 ½ cups of warm water and the Swerve brown sugar substitute into a saucepan. Heat over medium heat on the stove, stirring occasionally until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Combine and thicken: Slowly whisk the xanthan gum mixture into the hot saucepan mixture until completely blended and smooth. Continue heating and whisking to allow the syrup to thicken to your desired consistency, usually a few minutes.
- Add flavors and cool: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the maple extract and vanilla extract thoroughly. Allow the syrup to cool before serving or transferring it to an airtight container for refrigeration. Store in the fridge and use within two weeks for best freshness.
Notes
- Use warm water to help the xanthan gum blend smoothly without clumping.
- Adjust the thickness by varying the amount of xanthan gum or cooking time after combining.
- Store the syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for up to two weeks.
- Shake or stir well before use if the syrup thickens too much in the fridge.
- This syrup is ideal for keto and low-carb diets as it uses a sugar substitute that doesn’t affect blood sugar levels.
