Whether you want to substitute refined sugar for maple syrup because you are concerned about your health or just because you enjoy the taste, you certainly won’t regret it.
Maple syrup is a natural sweetener that comes from the maple sap harvested directly from the trees. It is 100% pure, natural and unprocessed – no additives added.

And we have to admit, it is also a delicious alternative to sugar…
Here are 5 ways you can use maple syrup instead of refined sugar.
Pastries
An easy way to substitute white sugar by maple syrup is to use it in your favorite recipes. Cakes, cupcakes and cookies will only get healthier, with a hint of maple that tastes like heaven. A good reason to indulge in sweet treats… guilt free.
Psst!
- A cup of sugar is replaced by about ¾ cup of maple syrup
- You can also reduce the other liquids of the recipe by about 3 tablespoons for every cup of maple syrup used.
Coffee
Some people aren’t completely awake before they have 1 or 2 cup(s) of coffee. If you are amongst them, this trick is for you.
Adding sugar to your coffee once or twice a day may seem like almost nothing, but quantities add up. Imagine how much sugar that is per month, or per year.
Replacing it with a dash of maple syrup will give you that sweet flavor you are looking for, and clear conscience as a bonus.
Oatmeal
Some people use brown sugar, some prefer white. Doesn’t matter what team you are in, because you will fall in love with a good maple oatmeal.
Sweet and healthy, that sounds like a perfect breakfast to us.
Vinaigrette

Surprise your guests with a new lemonade flavour they will love and sweeten your lemonade with Escuminac maple syrup. Healthy and fancy!
