Healthy 20 Second Multipurpose Chocolate Syrup – made from maple syrup (3 ingredients)

Tweet

Thanks to this recipe, you can now trash the crusty bottle of Hershey’s chocolate syrup you have that has most likely been lying around in your fridge for YEARS (I know you have one) and replace it with this healthy alternative. This new and improved version is great for many things… hence the word “multipurpose” placed in the title. You can drizzle this syrup on anything traditional chocolate syrup is good on. Some ideas of things it would pair nicely with include…

• nicecream (banana nicecream)

• yogurt

• coffee drinks

• vegan ice cream

• pancakes or waffles (the two are interchangeable)

• oatmeal

• protein shakes.

You could also dip strawberries into the syrup, use it in the creation of a healthier frappuccino, or add to milk for an instant chocolate milk. The options are endless.

There are many reasons to love this recipe, but convenience is at the top of the list. Unlike the making of traditional syrup, there is no heat involved. We are taking advantage of the natural texture of nature’s maple syrup without the lengthy process of making homemade syrup that involves boiling and simmering a sugar mixture. It takes a small MAX of 20 seconds to whip together this indulgent drizzle.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup 100% pure maple syrup

• 2 Tablespoons cocoa or cacao powder

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

• Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to a bowl.
• Sift the cocoa powder into the maple syrup and stir with a whisk or fork until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated
• Store in an airtight container. I usually store in a mason jar. Make sure to stir syrup before each use because the cocoa powder may separate over time.

Notes

• For a non-vegan alternative, you can substitute maple syrup with honey.
• This recipe can easily be doubled or halved in order to fit your specific need for the syrup.
• if you would like a less sweet syrup, you can substitute a fraction of the maple syrup with water.
