Use in place of vanilla extract in chocolate chip cookies, pound cake, or banana bread for a warm, woodsy sweetness that complements every other flavor in the recipe without competing for attention.Make homemade maple syrup by combining the extract with water, sugar, and a pinch of salt; adjust the extract quantity to dial in your preferred maple intensity without relying on the bottled version.Add a few drops to coffee, lattes, or morning oatmeal; stir into marinades or glazes for pork, salmon, or roasted root vegetables where maple's sweet-savory combination does some of its best work.
