We wanted to let you know December 17th is National Maple Syrup Day #MapleSyrupDay which is a #Holiday that calls for breakfast doesn’t it/ My family loves Pancakes, Waffles and French Toast with Syrup none of us like Maple Syrup. Do you?
December 17 is National Maple Syrup Day — the perfect excuse to drizzle Maple Syrup over pancakes, Waffles, or even Roasted Veggies. I wanted to remind you Maple Syrup isn’t just a breakfast topping; it’s a natural sweetener with a rich history in North America, especially tied to Indigenous traditions and Canadian culture.
Here are a few fun ways people celebrate #MapleSyrupDay:
- Breakfast feast: Invite your friends and family over and make Pancakes, Waffles, French toast, or Oatmeal topped served with Maple Syrup.
- Savory twist: Glaze Salmon, Chicken, or Roasted Carrots with Maple Syrup.
- Sweet treats: Maple Fudge, Maple Cookies, or Maple-flavored Ice Cream.
- DIY fun: Try making Maple Candy by pouring Hot Syrup onto fresh Snow (a classic Canadian tradition).
Here is a fun fact you can share with your friends and family. It takes about 40 gallons of Sap to make just 1 gallon of Maple Syrup.
I have a question for you. Would you like me to share some creative social media post ideas or recipes you could use to celebrate #MapleSyrupDay? If so leave me a comment and I will get to work on what you need.
Recipe for Buttermilk Pancakes
Here’s a classic recipe for fluffy, golden Buttermilk Pancakes you can whip up in about 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- Extra butter for cooking
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
- Combine: Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Don’t overmix—some lumps are fine.
- Cook pancakes: Heat a skillet over medium-low and add a little butter. Pour about ⅓ cup of batter per pancake.
- Flip: Cook until bubbles form on top and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook until the other side is golden.
- Serve: Stack them up and drizzle with maple syrup.
Tips & Variations
- Add blueberries, chocolate chips, or banana slices to the batter for extra flavor.
- Make a double batch and freeze leftovers—just reheat in the oven for a quick breakfast.
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
If you would you like me to also share a quick Buttermilk substitute (in case you don’t have any on hand)? Leave me a comment and I will get to work on it.
I wanted to share some facts about Maple Syrup with you. I’ve included a recipe for Pancakes for you. I also have shared my thoughts on Grade A Amber Color Rich Taste Organic Maple Syrup, 8 oz. and Mountain Farm Butternut Syrup which is also 100% Pure Vermont Maple Syrup Butternut Syrup David received as a Gift from work.
Grade A Amber Color Rich Taste Organic Maple Syrup, 8 oz Grade A Amber Color, Rich Taste organic maple syrup is slightly darker than Golden, Delicate and is known for its smooth maple flavor. This distinctive taste is produced mid-season when the temperatures start to warm. Its unique and subtle flavor is most often used for table syrup.
Coombs Family Farms organic maple syrup is thick, sweet and richly delicious. For seven generations, the Coombs family has farmed and harvested without pesticides and chemicals, making organic maple healthier for the forest, healthier for the environment, and healthier for consumers.
100% Pure Vermont Maple Syrup Butternut Syrup which comes in an Organic: 8 oz Glass Bottle that looks nice siting on our table. Sometimes a company just want to show off what’s inside. Our glass containers highlight the natural beauty of pure maple syrup.
David made Pancakes for Breakfast the other day and we sampled both Syrups and enjoyed both of them a lot. The Maple flavor wasn’t overpowering and helped kick off the Pancakes in a new way. We can’t wait to purchase more of these Syrups soon.
Thank you,
