Guest guest Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hi All, I'm looking for substitute for maple syrup in vegan baking recipes. We can't get it here in where we are right now outside of the US. Using Honey renders our cakes tasting like honey! We can get Agave, but its VERY $$$. What else could I use??? Thanks in advance for ideas! -- Deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 The only other thing that comes to mind is corn syrup (dark or light) - or depending on where you are and the kind of cakes you're baking, you can use molasses, or treacle or light syrup. If you can't find those, maybe make your own simple syrup -it's a cup of water and a cup of sugar, boil together until sugar is totally dissolved (you can add flavor extracts if you wish or use plain maybe reduce it a bit more to get a thicker consistency). Hope those help. Missie On Mon, Nov 2, 2009 at 7:24 AM, Deborah Conquest <deborahconquestwrote: > > > Hi All, > > I'm looking for substitute for maple syrup in vegan baking recipes.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 You could try brown rice syrup.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 We use blackstrap molasses (not too much, strong taste!), brown rice syrup, or pureed pumpkin or apple sauce in place of maple syrup.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I'd suggest agave, brown rice syrup or concentrated fruit juice. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 How about trying dates blended with water or a milk alternative? I haven't tried it so I don't know the ratio, but dates are a great, raw, whole food sweetener and they are available everywhere...

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Can you find Golden Syrup? It's cane sugar syrup, similar to the corn syrup used in the US, and is the norm for baking in Britain and former British commonwealth countries. I don't know how they process the sugar, though. Maybe there's a vegan version of cane syrup in the local HFS? Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
