Have you ever found yourself reaching into your pantry for the maple syrup only to find that you've run out of it? No need to fret! I've got several maple syrup substitutes for you, whether you're serving waffles  or making baked goods.

Maple syrup is a delicious plant-based/vegan sweetener that's also very versatile. It's most commonly used to add sweetness to a fresh stack of buttermilk pancakes, waffles, or French toast.

It's also a healthy alternative when you need to add sweetness & moisture to baked goods, like fudgy black bean cookies and buttermilk maple biscuits.

In its purest form, maple syrup is quite thin and watery. It's made from the sap of maple trees, which is extracted and boiled down to create a  thicker, sweeter liquid with a more concentrated flavor.

But what to do if you run out of maple syrup?
