I have to admit I’m quite shameless when it comes to my keto buttery maple syrup. I put it on everything. For example, in the morning I put it in my bullet coffee, on my Instant Noatmeal and on my Mac Griddle breakfast sandwich. The buttery maple flavor goes so well with everything and it’s keto!

I love to experiment when I’m cooking, hence I blog.
The hubs says I rarely cook anything the same way twice. And he is right, I don’t. This is why I love blogging. I put my recipes out in the blogosphere where I have a permanent record of what I created. So, I can refer back to it now and again, and maybe possibly make the same thing twice. If, I keep my tweaking to a minimum.
Keto Buttery Maple Syrup: Not Just for Breakfast
If you love to experiment like I do, consider using the Keto Buttery Maple Syrup outside your comfort zone. Try it on your pork chops as a maple glaze (recipe coming) or use it on the Keto pizza dough as a base for a delicious keto dessert pizza. The possibilities are endless.

Ingredients
Servings: 1 tbsp

- Gather your ingredients and a medium sized skillet to cook your syrup in.
- Place 4 tbsp butter in skillet and heat on low until butter is melted.
- Add 1/4 tsp vanilla bean powder (or 1 tsp) vanilla extract and 1 tsp maple extract to butter and cook for two minutes until butter is slightly browned.
- Add 3/4 cup water. Stir until butter and water are incorporated.
- Add 1/4 cup swerve confectioners sugar. Whisk until mixture is smooth and the lumps are gone.
- Sprinkle 1/4 tsp Xanthum gum over mixture and stir until maple syrup is thickened. If the syrup is too thick add a little water until proper consistency.
If you want your maple syrup to be a little darker, experiment with adding 1 tsp or 2 of powdered espresso. The flavor only changes slightly, but adds a darker richer color to your maple syrup.
The syrup will last refrigerated up to 4 weeks.
When I calculate the carb content, I remove Erythritol from the total as it normally does not affect blood glucose. It’s important to note that each person’s diet needs, and restrictions are unique. You are in charge of your own health. It’s up to you to decide what carb totals you should use. The macros for my recipes are calculated using FatSecret. This is provided purely as a courtesy for my readers. While I try my best to be accurate, I recommend you verify all nutritional information on your own. Do not rely solely on my calculations.

May 20, 2019 at 1:15 amNo, I’m afraid honey is not okay on keto. While there are a lot of overall health benefits in raw honey, it is too high in carbs for a keto diet. The natural sugar wreaks havoc with blood glucose levels.
