When you think of maple syrup you probably think of a good morning breakfast, most likely a plate of pancakes or waffles. Maple syrup is such a good topping, why limit it to just that? It can make things sweet just as well as sugar. So why choose maple syrup over sugar? The health benefit of pure maple syrup is better than just sugar. It also gives you a sweet and unique taste which is very delightful, almost as good as pure gold.
One way to use maple syrup is on good traditional oatmeal. This trick was what I found out when all the sugar in our house was gone. Instead of being a weaker alternative, I actually enjoyed the taste a lot more. The natural sugar also made me feel better about myself and did not give me a huge sugar rush or crash. The other benefit of maple syrup in oatmeal is that it gives it a creamy and smooth texture.
Anderson’s Maple Syrup, Inc. is proud to support our local schools. Most recently we collaborated with one of Cumberland High School’s 10th grade English classes. Students were given the opportunity to use their skills to describe the flavor of and creative uses for pure maple syrup. This weeks writer is TS.
