Be still my little Canadian heart!!!
We’re talking maple syrup for this week’s edition of Sweet & Savory Saturdays, and that makes me all sorts of excited for two very important reasons.
First, because the stuff basically runs through my veins. Not necessarily because I was born in The Great White North (I was, but my parents are both Polish immigrants so that probably makes me quite Polish), but because I once did syrup shots and I’m pretty sure there’s some left floating around in my blood stream to this very day.
Second, because maple syrup is liquid gold (literally) when you’re trying to cut back on refined sugars, which seems to be #trending these days. And for good reason! Not only is maple syrup less processed and chemical-y than something like table or brown sugar, but it’s also lower on the glycemic index and contains trace minerals like manganese and zinc. Not half bad, eh?
And if you’re wondering how you can make the switch from refined sugars to something a little more natural, I’ve got 15 healthy recipes for ya that are sweetened with maple syrup.
But first! A look back at the top 3 recipes from last week’s Greek Yogurt roundup…

I LOVE maple syrup. I use it all the time and keep buying giant containers from Costco 🙂
I always forget how easy it is to sweeten things with maple syrup. These look great and thanks for sharing.
Aww, thank you so much for including my oatmeal cookies!! ❤️
Thank you for making such delicious recipes 😀
Maple Syrup is near and dear to my heart too, it’s so incredibly delicious and it’s my favorite sweeter. I can’t go a say without putting it in my greek yogurt or drizzling it on top of my maple syrup!
Wow! So many of the recipes look incredible! I actually tend to use honey more often since it’s a little easier to find and cheaper around here. I do love the taste of anything maple though!
When i saw maple syrup was this week’s ingredient, I have to say my canadian heart was NOT still. So happy about this round up post, I could drink maple syrup for how much I love it.
Haha! I’m glad to know I’m not alone on that one 😀
Mmm, I love maple syrup, and I love these linkups– everyone’s food always looks so beautiful and delicious!
woah i need those maple glazed donuts!!!!
Wow these look like some of the BEST maple syrup recipes ever! I can’t wait to try some of them! 🙂
That’s so funny—just yesterday I posted a maple syrup recipe. Growing up, my mom and grandma used it in everything. It’s still my go-to. Whipped cream made with maple instead of sugar tastes like my childhood! A standard breakfast in our house was oatmeal topped with milk and syrup. As a kid, I used to love to watch the colors swirl together.
!!! Maple flavoured whipped cream?! I think my mom used brown sugar once and that was amazing. Maple must take it to a whole other level.
I love willy wonka! one of my all time favorite movies. I wanted my son’s bar mitzvah theme to be willy wonka so the whole thing would be chocolate and candy lol. thanks for the link up! I didn’t even realize I had recipes with maple syrup!
Omg that would seriously be an amazing theme! But only if you had Oompa Loompas too 😛
I will take a side of your Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Bars, one overnight Chocolate Smoothie and a plate of those carrots. K, thanks.
Coming right up! 😀
Maple syrup might be my favorite sweetener of any and I wish I could make all these recipes ASAP!
Right!?! So many amazing recipes, so little time. And even less when you’re working on your own blog recipes 😆
