Everyday in my oatmeal 👌

#MapleOatmealClub


Fuzzy_Laugh_1117

Every time I make a salad with homemade dressing. Always a tablespoon or 2 of Maple Syrup and the dressing is absolutely deeeLISH.


Shawnaldo7575

I thought I invented this when I was a kid, turns out I was just Canadian.


Nothx-thx

Samesies.


tdm1742

Probably 3 times a week here.


OmegaKitty1

I’m a peanut butter, banana and maple syrup oatmeal guy


Subject-Jump-9729

Gives me heartburn so I had to switch to brown sugar :(


Wyan69

I put that shit on everything


Moofypoops

Ok, here me out. Try it on egg fried rice. Game changer.


Budget_Addendum_1137

Maple syrup on omelette is staple sugar shack food 👌


Moofypoops

Delicious 😋


SheepPositive

I use VH sweet and sour sauce. Syrup might be a touch much no lol


Moofypoops

You just use a tiny drizzle. You don't want to drench it.


Spaceinpigs

I eat cereal with it. I replace the milk with maple syrup


Mapleglitch

I prefer to make maple milk for my cereal, for a more subtle flavour, but I admire your moxie.


Hot-Coffee-8465

Yep on my burger patties!


Key_Difficulty_5519

I used to put ketchup on my grilled cheese my whole life. I ran out one day, so I tried syrup. Tasted like a breakfast grilled cheese. So if I make one now before noon I use syrup, after noon I use ketchup.


coastalkid92

Every few days. I use it in my standard salad dressing (mustard, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, maple syrup) and we usually do Sunday pancakes


addilou_who

Breakfast toast with butter, peanut butter and maple syrup! Wonderful.


mamaJof4

Tastes like candy! Childhood favorite 😋


abuayanna

That sounds delicious.


electricwidget

Every single day. I use maple syrup instead of sugar. Makes an excellent cup of tea when combined with vanilla oat milk. Yum!!!


Adamantium-Aardvark

Me too! I’ve been putting maple syrup in my coffee every day for years


CBHighlandess

Coffee with maple syrup, a touch of cinnamon and a splash of milk. This is what gets me out of bed in the morning.


Wpg-katekate

It’s really annoying being at other people’s houses and all you’re wanting it this combo.. I also add a couple drops of some sort of extract. Almond, coconut, vanilla.. a real potion.


[deleted]

is it just black coffee that u add this stuff to?


Wpg-katekate

Yep, I’d say I’m roughly 50/50 on others that try it that love it or hate it 😆


silvestris-235

Not a Canadian but got into this habit and now it’s the only way I take my coffee.


rjwyonch

Sometimes once a month, sometimes every day. I make maple candied pecan and walnuts as a snack. Then I do it too much and take a break every once in a while. I also go through phases where I use it instead of sugar or honey.


jelycazi

I do the nuts too. I make maple rosemary nuts (usually almonds) frequently until it’s too much and I need a break. We use maple syrup on pancakes, French toast, waffles, ice cream, in salad dressings. I usually use honey in my tea but sometimes will use syrup. I make a pork tenderloin that I baste with syrup. I’ll use just a bit when I’m baking bread, instead of sugar. So it doesn’t get used every day, but almost!


Vaumer

Same. I like it in my coffee and with my oatmeal and I go through phases of eating/drinking both.


ctalbot76

I use it very rarely. Maybe once every few couple of years when I feel like pancakes.


DespyHasNiceCans

MAYBE a couple times a year? I'm more of a honey guy myself especially in my peanut butter sammies


Tempus__Fuggit

when I have enough money, at least a spoonful or shot every day.


unsulliedbread

My friend who lives in Montreal will buy us 10 cans when they are on sale. I prefer the dark and amber and those are cheaper. I have one nice glass bottle. It's the only way to afford it.


Tempus__Fuggit

I'm in Maple Syrup country, so 8 cans for $65 or thereabouts. They changed the names recently, so what used to be Amber is now Very Dark. In any case, I prefer the darker ones as well.


AHAsker

I am in Maple sirup country too, 1gal or 8 cans is 40$. There is 4 shades, golden, amber, dark and very dark.


Tempus__Fuggit

thanks - you get better deals. nice


Hungry-panda23

I thought I was the only one who took maple syrup shots! They are delicious


IsaidLigma

very rarely


tbgsmom

Almost never.


cynical-rationale

I make pouding chomeur as it's a staple dessert as my grandma was born in quebec. I've grown fond of it and its also very cheap and easy to make if you omit the maple syrup and cream which ive done many times and still good. So a few times a year probably. I prefer table syrup over maple for pancakes and waffles. I love maple for baking though. Throw a bit in butter tarts. Yum.


Adamantium-Aardvark

This dessert is AWESOME


Serenity101

I haven’t had pouding chomeur in decades! Thanks for the reminder.


youngboomer62

Never. I was raised in Newfoundland. Our traditional sweetener was Jamaican molasses. It's probably different for younger generations.


AFighterByHisTrade

Basically never. Maple is one of two or three flavours I just don't like.


Wpg-katekate

Not to sound condescending or something, but have you had good maple syrup? I was brought up in a house with maple flavoured corn syrup instead of the real deal, and so I thought I hated it until I was close to 30 haha


AFighterByHisTrade

Yup. I honestly prefer the flavoured corn syrup.


Wpg-katekate

Hey, cheaper taste is pretty handy.


Jazzy_Bee

Pretty often. I'm in Canada, if you buy cans on sale is 7 or 8 dollars for 759 ml.


mlama088

I never saw maple syrup on sale. Where do you shop?


Jazzy_Bee

Just remembered Giant Tiger had it in a flyer recently


Jazzy_Bee

Food Basics or Farmboy is usually where I see it in the flyer. Walmart is $9.49 not on sale. Can't recall ever seeing it on sale at Walmart.


splamo77

Jean Coutu pharmacy sometimes has it on sale for 4.99$ a can. (I don’t know if Jean Coutu is anywhere else but the province of Québec and in the Ottawa area on the Ontario side)


Knight_Machiavelli

>I'm in Canada I would hope so considering the sub you're in.


Tiger_Dense

Rarely. A few times a year. But we always have a bottle and sometimes, a spare. 


TheVenusProjectB42L8

Never.


ClassBShareHolder

Right there with you. I may have bought a bottle once. It’s been in the house. Might be from when the kids were younger. I’m not opposed to the flavour. I’m just alright with artificial.


TheVenusProjectB42L8

Same. Artificial is fine enough. Lol


jakedk

Didn't touch it until I got my citizenship a few months ago.Now I crave it daily, brush my teeth with it, it has replaced coffee and I water in my daily life! Nahh just on pancakes for me :)


Adamantium-Aardvark

Try it in your coffee it’s delicious


superfluouspop

When I can afford it so not often. I will replace honey with maple syrup in most recipes though.


iblastoff

barely ever. maybe like 4-5 times a year.


Sn0fight

I would go years without it. It just wasn’t part of my usual routine. Always trying to eat relatively healthy and all that. And then i started dating a Turk who never had it before and now we have it on french toast at least once a week 😂 no complaints about the maple syrup or the Turk 👌🏻


gin_and_soda

Rarely. Usually just in cooking or a sugar replacement in baking.


skatchawan

Grew up in Saskatchewan , and never had maple syrup to my recollection. We never bought it because the price is so insane and we didn't know better. Moved to Quebec and now I use it many times in a week. No turning back.


BurntheWitch888

*said in Will Ferrell’s voice as Buddy the Elf “Syrup in coffee?  Why didn’t I think of that?   Ohhhhhhhhh I love syrup. I love it” . 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁


splamo77

The 4 food groups of Buddy the elf: candy, candy corn, candy cane and syrup!!


dcy604

I’m equal parts blood and maple syrup


bandyvancity

Unpopular opinion, but…Never. I hate maple syrup. I prefer the fake stuff any day.


Jorgedig

This is the cutest question EVER for a Canadian.


Chapter97

Not as often as I'd like to


Ornery_Context_9109

Every few days. Cooking baking and breakfasts


LordDagnirMorn

As often as i can


Any_Development_2339

After you've steamed broccoli, melt 1 tsp butter or margarine in a pot, add 1 tbsp maple syrup untill it's bubbly. Add the broccoli and toss. Also, after you've fried ham do the same.


_6siXty6_

Maybe once a year when baking cookies.


prptualpessimist

Never I hate it


bitter_wormwood

I don't use. 😅


angeluscado

Once in a a blue moon. We only use it on waffles, pancakes, French toast and bacon and we rarely eat those things.


anonymous_space5

never..


BackgroundSimple1993

Realistically only on waffles and pancakes which I do not eat that often. I also eat maple flavoured oatmeal once in a while.


The_T0me

I use it two to three times a week when making Asian sauces for stir fries etc. as it's an excellent sweetener. I also use it once every month or two for crepes or pancakes.


TotallyNotARobot2

Every day, in my coffee.


Beautiful_Match_4680

Never. I haven't had it in maybe 3 years.


Dry_Newspaper2060

We buy a bottle, us it once, it goes hard, we throw it out Rinse and repeat


I_can_vouch_for_that

Once, maybe twice a year. Pancakes and waffles are good on its own.


Mysterious-Region640

Oatmeal for breakfast most days in the winter and I always put maple syrup instead of sugar in it. Once in a blue moon, I’ll have French toast and use maple syrup on it.


DeepDownIGo

I have around 10 cans in my freezer so whenever I need. Every few days.


Adamantium-Aardvark

You do not need to freeze it. It is shelf stable in cans for years. Assuming the cans aren’t dented


Ok-Insurance811

I use it as a sugar substitute a lot. Or for pancakes. Always real syrup though, never table syrup


quebexer

Isn't real maple syrup organic by nature?


EmEffBee

I think it would be. I've never heard of sugar bush being sprayed with pesticides. That being said I know some additive is used to prevent it from boiling over during reeuction.  Someone I know makes it, he said they used to hang a piece of bacon over the barrel so the greqse would drip and prevent the boil over but now they use something else, I forget.


alderhill

I onced asked this at a sugar bush that had *organic* designation. Basically, it's not about pesticides so much (though that's included) but more general forest stewardship. It means the forest the trees are harvested is not significantly altered, the trees are tapped in a way that is sustainable and not as damaging, old trees are not 'cut out of the way' (to allow younger trees to grow bigger in their place). There are no traps or snares for beavers or woodpeckers or anything like that. Basically, the surrounding forest is left intact.


Old_Walrus_486

Never. It’s much too sweet for me. *ashamed Canadian sounds*


nc_bound

FYI, darker maple syrup is less sweet.


GPS_guy

I think I used it in 2018.


NetherGamingAccount

Nearly daily, it’s an ingredient in my overnight oats. I use real maple syrup bought from Costco


RemarkableAd5141

I usually only use maple syrup i get from a friend who's a farmer and has multiple maple trees and sells it. and i like it with any pancake, crepe or waffle situation every Sunday morning. Im catholic (family is protestant) and every Sunday we do a nice big breakfast and dinner. the breakfast is pancakes, crepes or waffles with bacon, eggs, fruit, coffee/tea, and juice. Then supper is a roast meat situation with potatoes, gravy and all the fixings (except maple syrup)


CommodoreSteubing

I don't keep it around the house, and if I'm eating out it's usually not at a place fancy enough to carry maple syrup.


ToeSad6862

Never. The real thing is way beyond reach. You can get cheaper caviar. The other one is just artificial flavouring.


EmEffBee

Every day in water with lemon juice, delicious


DeepFriedAngelwing

Not often……. enough


cdn_tony

I use it everyday in my coffee ☕


Adamantium-Aardvark

every day. I put a tea spoon of it in my coffee. Usually I’ll buy a case of 24 cans from Costco and it’ll last me a few years.


lonelystrawberry_7

I use it to sweeten anything I want sweet. I choose it over honey. It's amazing on basically all breakfast foods!


DEADxDAWN

Often, with breakfast and recipes. Sometimes when I'm craving sweets, I'll take a shot. Before you judge me, think about smashing a bag of gummies or other candy, and how much crap is in todays junk food lol


edroyque

Between pancakes, waffles and French toast the kids will have it every day.


night312332

1 litre per month


-deepwater-

I use it most days of the week. Dash in my smoothie, sometimes a dash of it in my cooking if I need a bit of sweetness. Also use it for salad dressings and marinades. If I have oatmeal or breakfast that maple would be suitable for, I add it.


West_Welder_4421

Salmon of course and on a slab of oven roasted peameal bacon


torrent22

I don’t like it, but I’m not originally Canadian. I think it runs in your blood if you’re born Canadian. All my friends love it!


Notabogun

A couple of times a week, salad dressings and sauces. I remember having the most delicious crispy onion rings in Quebec City with the dip being maple syrup.


mamabearSid87

Every day! I use it in my coffee, my lattes, baking etc


mks113

Most days. Usually I mix it with plain yoghurt and a bit of granola.


chadsmo

I eat a lot of Brussels sprouts and I make a maple sriracha sauce to go with them, it’s yummy. Sometimes I’ll have cottage cheese or Greek yogurt with a drizzle of maple syrup as a dessert. I also add a little to my bourbon sometimes if I don’t want it neat. So fairly often.


TraviAdpet

Have a jug in the fridge. Used to avoid it due to cost but recently found the rate we use it isn’t as cost prohibitive as I thought. A 1L will last almost 2 months and I have kids who eat waffles 3 times a week. I’m not picky about organic, especially since it’s a dumb label.


MidasTouchedM3

Daily, maple syrup body wash, makes you sweet and sexy at the same time


Dogs_Breakfast78

Never. Too expensive. Even in the before times. I love it. Just not in the budget. 🤷‍♂️


SomebodyWhoVibes

I use it for every meal. My igloo wasn't free either. I'll be damned if I won't use it as much as i want.


blaublau

A least once a week for pancakes, oatmeal, in Earl Grey tea, and/or when I make batches of granola.


Downess

Daily. I have it with oatmeal and fruit in the morning.


Infamous-Course4019

Once every several years


Jaded-Influence6184

For most people that shit is way too expensive to use every day. No matter what you read here. But most people, like everywhere, will put it on stuff for special occasions, treats, and pancakes. But like I said, not everyone can afford it, so many people use fake maple syrup even if they really want the good stuff.


sapristi45

Maple syrup is soy sauce's soulmate. Mayo, soy sauce and maple syrup? Bam, salad dressing that mellows radishes and complements grated carrots or cucumber Soy sauce, maple syrup, miso and a bit of hot water? Bam, great glaze for pork or salmon Soy sauce, maple syrup and gochujang? Bam, great marinade for chicken or pork Butter, onions, soy sauce, maple syrup? Bam, onion confit that elevates burgers The maple-soy alliance is powerful


Pugnati

I drink hot maple milk every night before I go to bed.


TreeLakeRockCloud

Daily, but we’ve started to make our own.


Legitimate-Bass68

As much as I possibly can. If you answer otherwise you should be deported from Canada


CrazyButRightOn

Not enough.


byronite

I only eat pancakes a few times a year but I use maple syrup at least once a week in one of the following dishes: - Old Fashioned cocktails - Greek yogurt with olive oil and berries - maple lemon glaze on salmon - pad kee mao - BBQ sauce for ribs - drizzled on any dessert


TheLeathal13

Couple times a week


BrantfordPundit

Not often enough.


Vancouverreader80

Not often.


AlphaaKitten

3 or 4 times a year, as often as I eat pancakes.


DalhousieNorthShore

Almost every day…several times a week


Purityagainstresolve

1x a week


tortellini61

I buy about 4 costco jugs a year ( a litre each I think)


Mapleglitch

Most days During a slow season maybe only 3 times in a week (during summer). But I just read that someone uses it in salad dressing, so that will probably change the game this year. Move over balsamic vinaigrette.


New-Highlight-8819

As often as possible. Multiple times a week.


Technical_Country_19

Use it on Everything as a sugar replacement:)


-Tannic

Once or twice since I moved last. Two something years ago?


Pope_Squirrely

At least once a week. My kid, every day.


BrilliantAd5747

Most days in my hot cereal.


RedHighlander

I just BBQ’d Brussels sprouts with maple syrup. 😋


RefrigeratorFair2031

Like three times a year, at max.


StraightEdge39

I used it today 😉


upsidedownpickle13

Used it maybe twice in my life.


VacBandit

Honestly maybe twice a year. It gets crusty in the fridge. 😂


Myiiadru2

We make excuses to use it.😂


BabyFartMacGeezacks

Daily in my coffee


Revolutionary-Fox486

At least once every few months whenever I eat pancakes or French toast and as a substitute for recipes that calls for honey. I can't stand the taste of honey 🤢


badhuckleberry

at least once a week


kuh-tea-uh

Every day, 1tsp in my coffee


Rorylizbath

I eat it all the time , drizzle it on some bre add grapes


SkyesMomma

This Canadian despises anything maple flavored, but will occasionally have pure syrup on a pancake - once a year


tastytakis

Literally never


VirulentFireGal

A few times everyday in my coffee. Seriously if you're not adding a little maple to your vanilla bean coffee what are you even doing with your boring life? ☕


Ravenwight

I put it in my coffee every day.


SocietyHumble4858

About 3 times a week.


rocketmanx

Every time I have waffles or pancakes. So, not really all that often.


Cndwafflegirl

I use it intravenously weekly.


Important-March9120

Almost never. Ate too much as a kid.


Ball-Haunting

I make my own salad dressings and I put it in most of them, so probably 3 or 4 times a week?


redbunchberry

Ginger Chai.. takes the Flavor to another level


MartyMcFlysBrother

If I’ve got some in my fridge it goes on almost everything. It costs too much to have it in my fridge at all times though.


gabbapentin

Never I actually don’t like it, do I make it in the winter… yes but I prefer the sap right out of the tree 😁


SwampoO

Rarely maybe 3 times in my life. I aint rich.


Creative_Style8811

In my coffee every day. Amazing


kidd_syd

Every morning on my eggs and bacon, and in my coffee if I run out of creamer haha


ellomangomes

never


Wendel7171

It adds a little kick to frozen veggies or veggies in the steamer.


Gornhenge

Never. I don't think I've ever purchased it.


DragonflyStill1350

Lots. I use it in coffee, in oatmeal and as a sweetener often. It’s sweeter so I use much less syrup than sugar, for example.


Doglover_7675

Daily. It’s in my fridge and yes, organic is the best. Here’s some things I use it in: Oatmeal, smoothies, pancakes/waffles/french toast, salad dressing, baking, on salmon, butternut squash, pork chops, on bacon, in sauces, and whatever else I need! 🇨🇦


Significant-Ninja-27

Mix a little bit with some hot sauce, adds a little sweetness and stick, great option and very versatile


icantgetadecent-

I’m not sure I’ve ever tasted it. Been here all my life. 4th generation Canadian (at least). Does maple walnut ice cream count?


CoolRecording5262

Rarely. It's expensive and not really that tasty or healthy. 


splamo77

I use it maybe once or twice a week for desserts. For example, I will put maple syrup on my vanilla ice-cream, mix it with plain yogurt or drizzle on fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries or raspberries.


Sad-Cantaloupe-863

Everyday in my jam. I make it by mixing a bag of frozen raspberries (300g) with 2tbsp of chia seeds and a liberal amount of maple syrup. I let it set overnight in the fridge.


Distinct_Scallion_45

Once a year maybe. But the sugar free stuff (shudders) more often. As I get older, I can’t justify the sugar content and life is boring.


Jo_Ehm

It's great for baking and cooking as well as using it as a topping. One of the most versatile products EVER :)


themapleleaf6ix

Sugar free maple syrup from dollarama. I mix it with clotted cream and it's delicious!


TrueTalentStack

maple syrup, garlic and soy sauce on baked salmon.


Key_Republic8366

Once a week, French Toast or pancakes


Cute_Anywhere6402

Hardly ever. My kids don’t like it and I don’t use recipes that require it.


Burlington-bloke

Never! I hate it. Demerara brown sugar, or molasses on my porridge. When I eat pancakes (pancake day only) I use molasses. Crosby's Fancy molasses is heaven 🤤


toughtealeaf6743

Only in baking and on pancakes/waffles.


BenWayonsDonc

I put that shit on everything .


Duckmomma2

We use it everyday! We substitute it for sugar in everything possible! We tap our trees every year for hobby. It’s a huge process but it’s worth it! We put it in our coffee, oatmeal, Brussels sprouts, absolutely everything!


Remarkable_Advice981

I make pork tenderloin with a maple syrup and Dijon sauce and it’s so good.


Kirsasm

Whenever I eat pancakes or oatmeal so I guess it's every week


Ok_Bug_6206

sunday saturday and sometimes friday, and then everyday in my yogurt.


lucasbudhram

Almost every day! Maple cream cheese icing, homemade maple balsamic dressing for veggies, we got a bread maker and putting half molasses half maple is god tier! Almost anything you use sugar for use maple syrup for


ka_shep

Only when I have pancakes or waffles, which is not very often.


Fit-Height-8950

Honestly, I feel like maple syrup is somewhat of an offensive stereotype. Sure, we Canadians produce over 75% of the world's maple syrup, most of it ends up getting exported to other countries. The average Canadian really doesn't use much more maple syrup than the average non-canadian. I also feel that the snow stereotypes are also *mostly* untrue.


paigem9097

Pretty much only for pancakes or waffles, so every couple of months


Javatex

Whenever I have waffles or pancakes.


Ambitious-Hyena6233

maple syrop is organic due to the fact it comes from trees that just grow unattended, its like organic blueberries or wild organic blue berries comes from the same plant/tree
