Do you like to sweeten baked goods with maple syrup? It can be a wonderful way to give your cakes and quick breads flavor and sweetness. If you use dark maple syrup, you also add some vitamins to your finished product. However, in the current economy, real maple syrup can sometimes be out of reach for daily use.
Happily, Jennifer McCann of Vegan Lunch Box fame comes to the rescue, with an improvised, homemade "maple syrup" that can take the place of the real stuff in your baking. It's especially good for vegans who are avoiding honey. She combines brown sugar, maple flavoring, water and cornstarch and gets something that is similar to the the real thing.
