Why substitute sugar with maple syrup

These recipes already use Quebec maple syrup as the sweetener. Basic rule: replace 1 cup (250 ml) white sugar with 3/4 cup (180 ml) syrup, reduce liquids by 45–60 ml per cup of syrup, and lower oven temperature by 15 °C. A substitution calculator is also available. Substitution calculator →
