Agave Syrup

I'm not fond of the sugar free maple syrups on the market today. They taste too "fake" for me if that makes any sense. Instead I prefer to mix agave nectar which is basically a low glycemic index natural sweeter made from concentrating the juices of the agave plant (looks a lot like aloe and is used to make tequila!) with maple flavoring (comes in a wee bottle like vanilla would). You get a much cleaner taste out of this. However, agave is MUCH sweeter than regular syrup to use it more sparingly.
