Keto Pancake Syrup Recipe
I love to make a big stack of pancakes on the weekends. My kids love it too, and I like that I can make both the pancakes and the syrup from scratch.
You’ll never need to buy sugar free pancake syrup again once you learn how to make this simple recipe.
There are only 5 ingredients in this keto pancake syrup recipe, and in less than 15 minutes you’ll be enjoying perfectly topped pancakes.
Is Homemade Sugar Free Pancake Syrup Better than Store Bought?
I personally think so! The best part about making sugar free pancake syrup from-scratch is that you know exactly what’s going into it.
You can also experiment with flavorings to make this keto pancake syrup perfect for you.
Ingredients
Water – This is the main ingredient.
Powdered Sugar-Free Sweetener – We like to use Swerve or Lakanto. I recommend using a powdered sweetener because it dissolves quicker. You can use a granulated sweetener, but it may take longer to dissolve.
Xanthan Gum – Thickens the keto pancake syrup and helps with texture.
Maple Extract – Provides flavor and a little color.
Vanilla Extract – Vanilla adds balance and warmth to the maple flavoring.

How to make keto pancake syrup
- Add all ingredients to a small saucepan and whisk until combined.

- Once at a rolling boil, turn the heat down and simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until sweetener is dissolved.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let cool to room temperature before serving.
These numbered steps match the numbered photos above and are for illustration purposes. For the complete list of ingredients and instructions, please see the recipe below.
Storage instructions
I like to keep my keto pancake syrup in a glass jar in the fridge. It should last this way for up to 2 weeks. Before serving you can warm it up a bit to get it back to pouring consistency.
You may find that they syrup crystalizes in the fridge. This is normal, and it will go away once you re-warm the low-carb pancake syrup.
Other Ways to Use Keto Pancake Syrup
Aside from topping your keto pancakes, this keto pancake syrup can also be used in your Keto or Low-Carb baking.
I use maple flavored syrup as a sweetener in several of my recipes, including my Keto Chocolate Muffins.
Keto Pancake Syrup would also be lovely drizzled into a smoothie or added to coffee.
Keto Pancake Syrup Recipe Flavors
You can make different flavors of Keto Pancake Syrup. We’ve made pumpkin spice keto pancake syrup, peppermint keto pancake syrup, and raspberry pancake syrup.
Any flavor extract will work here. Simply swap out the maple extract with the desired extract flavor. You can experiment with cinnamon and other flavors as well.
Not a syrup, but we love enjoying keto cranberry sauce on pancakes as well.

How to Make Powdered Sweetener
If all you have is a granulated sweetener, you can make it into a powdered sweetener by using your blender.
Make sure that your blender is dry, and pulse the granulated sweetener until it’s the powdered consistence that you want. Wait a minute before opening the blender to let the powder settle.
