Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Filtered water
- 3 tablespoons Xylitol (candida-safe sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons Carob powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (sugar-free)
- 0.25 teaspoons Cinnamon powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Guar gum (or xanthan gum, for thickening)
- 1 pinch Sea salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the filtered water and xylitol. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the xylitol completely dissolves (about 3 minutes).
Whisk in the carob powder, vanilla extract, and cinnamon powder until fully combined. The syrup will begin to develop a rich and smooth consistency.
Sprinkle in the guar gum gradually while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously, until it thickens to your desired syrupy consistency.
Add a pinch of sea salt to balance the flavors. Taste and adjust sweetness or flavor if needed by adding a bit more xylitol or cinnamon.
Once the syrup has thickened, remove it from heat and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. The syrup will thicken slightly more as it cools.
Transfer the syrup to a glass jar or container for storage. Serve warm over candida-safe pancakes, waffles, or other breakfast treats.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving if needed.
