Recipe FAQs

What syrup is used?

Since maple syrup is high in sugar and carbohydrate content, I substituted Lakanto Maple-Flavored Syrup in for sweetness in this recipe. I love having a bottle of this in my pantry for enhancing the flavor of bacon or to drizzle on top of my Low-Carb Pancakes!

Lakanto’s Maple-Flavored Syrup is sweetened with monk fruit sweetener, a naturally-occurring, net-carb-free, and zero-calorie sweetener. In addition to the syrup, we also use Lakanto’s granulated Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener and Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener daily. Lakanto products are my personal favorite pantry-staples since I began a ketogenic, primal way of eating!

If you are looking for a sweetener that tastes like sugar and is low-carb, keto, vegan, and paleo-compliant, I highly recommend trying Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener! You can use code “REALBALANCED” for 20% off your total order!
