One morning, my husband and I were enjoying keto waffles drizzled lightly with Lakanto Maple Syrup.
My husband looked at me and said “You used to make homemade syrup, could you make the same thing in a Keto version?”
Well, why not?
Your New Favorite KETO Maple Syrup
It took me quite a bit of trial and error to get this keto maple syrup just right.
This syrup won't harden in the refrigerator, but it does still tend to separate and require a vigorous shake before use.
Adding additional xanthan gum causes too much thickening for our tastes.
More Than A Keto Pancake Syrup!
This Keto Maple Syrup is so much more than a pancake syrup.
Try it on salmon to make a Keto Maple Glazed Salmon.
It's also great on pork chops, chicken breasts and kabobs!
We've even recently been experimenting with making keto maple glazed bacon! Oh yeah!

Hi, I’m in canada so no bocha sweet but i do have allulose,, do you know if it would work? It’s very expensive so i would hate to waste it
Yes, it will work 🙂 Just don’t cook it as much. as soon as it starts to brown, take it off 🙂
Thank you for this recipe. This is my go to maple syrup. I’ve tried the sugar-free Log Cabin and Lakanto syrups and I cannot make myself enjoy the taste. Your recipe is so close to the syrup I grew up with. I love Bocha Sweet and use it to make Sugar-free ice cream, cookies and cakes. I
Your welcome!! We love Bocha 🙂
How’s many servings does this recipe make? I’m trying to figure out the macros per serving. 25 calories per 1 tablespoon? Thank you
Servings are on the recipe card 🙂
how much Monk Fruit could I use in place of the Bocha Sweet? Great recipe Thanks!
Is it the Monk Fruit that’s blended with erythritol?? If so, that’s a 1:1 replacement. If not, there should be instructions on the bag. I know there’s a few companies that sell pure monk fruit which you use less for. But…. when doing the conversion you can pretend Bocha Sweet is “sugar” and replace it according to the instructions.
I hope that was helpful 🙂
How about a Bocha Sweet Simple syrup? Would you use the same proportions minus the cream and maple extract? And would it only hold a couple weeks in the fridge?
Do you know how long this last in the refrigerator? Also what is a serving size?
5 stars with reduction with the sweetener I had on hand
Forgot to mention I used only 1/2 cup Swerve, otherwise this would have been too sweet for us.
I’m so glad to hear that Swerve worked!
I just made this as a surprise for my husbands birthday. We’re three weeks into keto, but he’s missing his whole wheat pancakes.
This recipe should cover the real Maple syrup he’s been used to as an occasional breakfast.
I read recipes thru, before I start cooking, but for other’s I suggest you list the xanthan gum in the list of ingredients.
It’s frustrating to have to did out an ingredient when one is in the middle of food prep.
My first time here, this recipe is a winner.
Yes, i totally agree with you. It takes awhile to fully stock your kitchen for Grain-Free baking 🙂 Xantham gum is a pretty common one. Here, I’m using it to thicken the syrup and so it doesn’t separate as much when it’s stored 🙂
