π Easy Homemade Maple Sugar (and how to use it in place of modern sugar!)
|
Did you know you can turn maple syrup into sugar at home? In fact, it's quite easy! And you can even turn that maple sugar into powdered sugar to make icings, frostings, and more! Over the past few years, my family has tried to completely eliminate white sugar from our diet. There are a lot of reasons, but the main reason is the effect that white sugar has on the body's ability to function and absorb nutrients properly. So, we've turned to natural sweeteners, as well as drastically reducing the amount of "sugar" we consume, no matter the source (though we do still enjoy the occasional treat!). As a result, having maple sugar on hand has been so helpful! Whether you are trying to reduce heavily processed sugar, or just want to try something fun, homemade maple sugar is a easy recipe to enjoy! Get the details on making your own maple sugar, and the substitution guide for using it in place of white, brown, and powdered sugars! π
