OH NO!!! It happened. The kids want breakfast and not just cereal. They want homemade pancakes with syrup. And you just ran out of Maple Syrup. Facepalm. Standing in your PJs you are not ready to head out to the store and spend a whopping $13 on a pint of maple syrup.

Your other option is to buy a big plastic jug of “maple-flavored syrup” at your corner store. A jug with a nutrition label a mile long, containing words like – CORN SYRUP, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, WATER, CELLULOSE GUM, CARAMEL COLOR.

You think – no way. Let me search the master recipe finder – Google, for a better recipe. And here you are my friend. Congratulations! Because you just found a fantastic syrup recipe, you can make with a few simple ingredients from your pantry (brown sugar and granulated sugar).

Ingredients Needed

This recipe is made with only FOUR ingredients and creates a dreamy, warm syrup.

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2/3 cup water
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

I do not recommend using raw or coconut sugar. You will not get the texture or flavor you will end up getting.

How to Make This Pancake Syrup

STEP ONE: Combine Sugars, Water, and Vanilla Extract– In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, place the brown sugar and water. Bring this mixture to a boil, while stirring, until the sugar has dissolved.

STEP TWO: Simmer on Low to Medium Heat – Reduce the heat and simmer your mixture for roughly 4 minutes or until thickened. 

STEP THREE: Check with a Spoon – Dip a metal spoon into the mixture and watch it drip from the spoon. You are looking for a low drip.

STEP FOUR: Allow to Cool – Once you reach the thickness you desire. Remove from heat and allow to cool to almost room temperature.

Storing Your Pancake Syrup

You can store your pancake syrup in the refrigerator for up to 1 month in an airtight container. I prefer to use swing top bottles. It does have the potential to last longer. Check out this resource for more info on storing homemade syrup.
