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.

| Servings:121 tbsp | Cook Time:5minutes |
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/4 tsp vanilla bean powder The vanilla bean powder can be substituted with 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Ingredients
Servings: 1 tbsp
Units:
|
- 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.

Is honey ok in a keto diet?
No, 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.
Thanks for this recipe Can i use this syrup to make keto pecan pie
It all depends on the recipe. It would be worth a try.
No ma’am, honey isn’t ok
How much is one serving?
A serving is 1 TBSP.
Does this syrup stay liquid at room temp or must it be warmed up prior to use?
It does stay liquid at room temp. I store mine in the refrigerator. I do warm it up before serving sometimes, but just a good stir will do the trick as well.
I just made this in preparation for my first keto pancakes in the morning and I just wanted to leave a review since the other reviewers don’t seem to have made it yet when they responded. It is delicious! I am very excited for my pancakes in the morning, but I also plan to try it in my coffee. I used the maple extract I had on hand which is probably not as good as yours and seems to have a more caramel flavor. I did add a little salt to mine because I admit I prefer the taste of fake pancake syrup over real maple syrup and I feel it usually has a little salty taste. It was super easy to whip up at 9:30 pm! Mine tastes a little like salted caramel which is a good thing in my opinion. Thanks for the recipe!
I am so glad you liked it. I will have to try the addition of salt in my next batch. Sounds like a great addition. Thank you for taking a moment to comment. 🙂
Mine doesn’t seem to be thickening it stayed the same consistency as water. How sticky/ thick should I expect it to become? Did I not cook it long enough?
My guess is that you need to add a little more Xanthum gum. It is okay to pour it back into the pan and heat it up again. Add a small amount of xanthum though, because it gets almost a snotty consistency (excuse the grossness) if you add too much. This should do the trick to thicken it up.
what is xanthum gum ?
Xanthum gum is used as a food thickener. For more detailed information check out this informative site https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320272.php
If you’re interested in Keto Diet here’s what my friend has to say about it:
” I began the Keto diet after researching it all over the internet and talking to some family members that had tried it. The diet sounded awesome: all the meats and vegetables you can eat! However, I soon found out the difficulty of culling my addiction to carbs. I persevered through the tough spots, and I have managed to become much stronger than I was while leaning down to a weight where I am able to keep a high-intensity tempo for a longer period of time. The Keto diet has not only made me feel better about myself, but it’s also helped me scrape by in some situations that I cannot imagine the bigger me handling.
So far, I have lost 30 pounds on Keto since starting in early March, around two months ago. I don’t plan on quitting anytime soon, either! ”
Wow, that is a great story. Keto is a lifestyle. I too don’t ever plan on going back to eating the way I did before.
Can you use vanilla extract?
You can use vanilla extract instead of the vanilla powder, though I prefer powder because it adds a bit more flavor to the Maple syrup. This is because it’s a little more concentrated. Be aware that sometime there is hidden sugar in vanilla extract, so be sure to read the label.
Just made this syrup and it is scrumptious! I’m so excited to try it on pancakes later tonight ☺️ Thanks so much for sharing it.
I am glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for letting me know. 🙂
Can I substitute the swerve for Erythritol sweetener? I am very excited to try this recipe 😊
Yes, any sweetener will work.
Can I use arrowroot powder instead of xanthan gum?
I haven’t had much experience with arrowroot powder to say for sure. I’m not certain if it would leave a bit of an aftertaste. Also, it does have almost 7 carbs in 1 tbsp.
Where do you buy your vanilla powder from?
I usually get mine online at amazon. There are quite a few choices and they ship it to my door. A win-win.
I have not made this recipe yet, but I intend to. I have made some similar to it and it looks and taste good but I would like for it to be more of a brown color. How do I get it to look like real maple syrup? Should I brown the butter some?
I’m sorry, I didn’t read all of the recipe. I will try it.
