Maple syrup is delicious and natural. It was a wonderful woody taste and smell that appeals to both grownups and children. With such wonderful qualities, you won’t want to use it only for your pancakes. Here are a few more ideas:

#1 – Maple Syrup Rice Pudding – Rice pudding is an old-fashioned comforting dessert. You can reduce the amount of sugar you use and instead add a little maple sugar. Once the rice pudding is cooked you can add a swirl of syrup on top and pop it under a hot grill for a minute and it will caramelize.

#2 – Maple Syrup for tea – Why not try a teaspoon of maple syrup in your tea. It has a nicer taste than plan sugar and a depth that’s more intense than honey.

#3 – Maple Cough Syrup – If you feel like a cold is approaching try a soothing maple cough syrup. It’s completely natural and will help sooth your throat. Place a teaspoon of maple syrup along with the juice of half a lemon in a cup, add hot water, swirl and sip.

#4 – Maple Syrup Muffins – Try a whole wheat basic muffin recipe and replace half of the sugar with a few tablespoons of maple syrup. It’s better for you and will give your muffins a more intense flavor.

#5 – Maple Syrup Cookies – Maple syrup goes great in cookies. Try a basic cookie recipe and replace half of the sugar with a few tablespoons of maple syrup. Add a handful of chopped pecans and you’ve created a warming fabulous cookie recipe.
