Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol (or low-carb powdered sweetener of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Maple extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the water and powdered erythritol. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the erythritol has dissolved completely (about 3-4 minutes).
Stir in the maple extract, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk gently to combine.
Add the butter to the saucepan. Allow it to melt completely, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum into the saucepan a little at a time, whisking constantly to prevent clumping.
Reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly. Keep in mind that the syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a glass jar or bottle.
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before use, as the butter may solidify when chilled. Stir or shake well to recombine if needed.
