Maple syrup weight and sugar substitution
Pure maple syrup is a dense sugar solution, so a cup weighs about 322g and a tablespoon about 20g — well above plain water. For an accurate cup, measure it at room temperature, since cold syrup is thick and clings to the sides.
To swap it for sugar, use roughly ¾ cup of syrup per cup of sugar, cut the recipe's other liquids by about 3 tablespoons, and lower the oven 25°F to keep it from browning too fast. The flavor carries through, which is why it suits granola, glazes and spice cakes.
