Subject: Re: LC maple syrup?

Thus far, IIRC, I have used the faux maple syrup as a cooking
ingredient.  I do keep thinking of trying French Toast with it
when I am bored, but I haven't done that yet.  

French toast using any brand of low-carb bread...almost like the good
ol' days, ya know?     Kalish

Low-carb pancakes: there are dozens, if not hundreds, of recipes floating
around for them.

French toast made from one of the LC or light breads.

Breakfast sausages.  (My husband is a vegetarian, so we eat the meatless
ones, and they're much more palatable with maple-flavor syrup.)

The thing about the pancakes and french toast is, when we do have them,
they aren't the entire meal.  In the olden days, we'd have  a plate full of
big pancakes, drowning in syrup, and nothing else.  Now they're a side dish
-- there will be maybe two small pancakes or two half-slices of french
toast with a couple of tablespoons of syrup, along with maybe scrambled egg
& cheese and some veggie sausage or something like that.

Other uses for it:  making LC maple-walnut ice cream.  Making a substitute
for baked beans (using black soybeans, sweet & low brown sugar sub, and LC
maple syrup).

My favorite brand is Maple Grove Farms (two different labels: Vermont
Sugar-Free and Cozy Cottage, both exactly the same, though they usually
sell for significantly different prices even within the same store).

I haven't tried the DaVinci pancake syrup, or the Atkins or Keto ones.  I
have never tasted an Atkins or Keto product that I liked, so I probably
won't ever try those, but I might try the DaVinci some day.  (It's made
with splenda and is supposedly zero carbs, while the Maple Grove Farms one
had both splenda and sorbitol and has 1 g carb per tablespoon).

Dana Carpender's "500 Low-Carb Recipes" has excellent recipes for
pancakes and waffles.  Just had some waffles for breakfast, in fact.

I agree.
