Using pure maple syrup as a healthy alternative to sugar in baked goods and deserts is easy as pie. Follow these simple conversion tips:

• Substitute sugar for an equal amount of maple syrup.

• For each cup of syrup, reduce the quantity of liquid ingredients in the recipe (water, milk, juice) by about a quarter of a cup.

• Maple syrup can also serve as a one-to-one substitution for other liquid sweeteners, such as honey, molasses and corn syrup.
