Lakanto Maple Flavored Sugar-Free Syrup, 1 Net Carb (Maple Syrup, 13 oz)
About the Sugar Free Maple Syrup – My Recommendation
There are now some great sugar free Maple Syrups on the market that use better sweeteners such as monkfruit sweetener and Stevia.
This Lakanto sugar free maple syrup is the one I recommend for this recipe. 2 tbsp is only one net carb and if you compare the ingredients side by side to some of the other sugar free syrups out there, this one looks way cleaner.
You can also use this syrup for Low carb pancakes and waffles and other recipes.
