Pure maple syrup is my number one liquid sweetener. It’s refined, sugar-free, and has a rich flavor that works perfectly in many of my recipes, like strawberry crumb bars and banana baked oatmeal. However, in most cases, it’s okay to substitute maple syrup with any other liquid sweetener (e.g., rice malt syrup, date syrup, agave syrup [not refined sugar-free], etc.).

If preferred, you can also experiment with sugar-free syrups (like keto maple syrup). Refer to individual recipes for more information, though, as sometimes the sugar is required in a recipe for more than just flavor.
