Sugar-free vanilla syrup is a healthy, easy-to-make syrup that is perfect for coffee. A lot of people are weary of sugar-free syrups. But even though traditional vanilla syrup is delicious it is loaded with a ton of sugar. One serving of sugar-free vanilla has 20 grams of sugar<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, sugar-free vanilla syrup has 0 grams of sugar. Therefore, it is a healthier alternative to traditional vanilla syrup. Plus, it is infused with a real vanilla bean, which gives it so much flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Use Vanilla Extract Instead Of Vanilla Syrup In Coffee<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do not add vanilla extract to your coffee in place of vanilla syrup. Vanilla syrup has a thicker consistency and a sweeter flavor than vanilla extract. In contrast, vanilla extract has a thinner consistency and a bitter flavor. So do not add it to your coffee unless you want to ruin it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Use Vanilla Extract Instead Of Vanilla Bean To Make Vanilla Syrup <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla beans are expensive, so you can use vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste if you do not have them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are using vanilla extract, use pure vanilla extract. It has a better, stronger flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, heat the sugar-free sweetener and water first. Once the sugar-free sweetener dissolves and the syrup is warm, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and stir to combine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are using vanilla bean paste, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla bean paste after the sugar-free sweetener is dissolved and the sugar-free vanilla syrup is warm.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Vanilla Syrup Supposed To Be Thick<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla syrup should not be so thick that it’s hard to pour out of the bottle. It should easily flow out of the jar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your syrup is extremely thick and has a sticky texture, you may have cooked it at a temperature that was too high or cooked it for too long. You can thin the syrup out by placing it over low heat and stirring in water 1\/2 tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Is My Sugar-Free Vanilla Syrup Clumpy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you use an erythritol-based sugar-free sweetener, you will likely notice clumps of sugar-free sweetener floating on the bottom of the container. This is called crystallization. Crystallization is frustrating, but there are a few ways you can prevent it from happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
    \n
  1. Use two parts water and 1 part sugar-free sweetener. The syrup will crystalize if you do not use the wrong proportion of ingredients. For example, this vanilla syrup recipe calls for 1\/2 cup of sugar-free sweetener and 1 cup of water. So it is less likely to have clumps of sugar-free sweetener in it. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Use distilled water to make your syrup. It can decrease the chances that crystallization occurs if you follow steps 1 and 5. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Add xanthan gum. It is a thickener that gives the sugar-free vanilla syrup the consistency we are used to. Xanthan gum can prohibit crystallization to some extent, but only if you follow step 1. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Heat the syrup over medium-low heat just until the sugar-free sweetener dissolves. Do not cook the sugar-free vanilla syrup longer than necessary. You do not need to let the vanilla syrup boil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Do not store store your syrup in the fridge. It is heated and then cooled to room temperature. If you store the syrup in the cold fridge, it will crystallize. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    How Long Does Vanilla Syrup Last<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If it is stored in an airtight container, vanilla syrup will last for 2-3 days at room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How To Use Vanilla Syrup <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    There are many ways you can use this syrup. You can add it to your vanilla latte or other caffeinated drinks. However, you can also add it to lemonade, mocktails, or cocktails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can also drizzle a bit of the syrup over pancakes or gluten-free waffles<\/strong><\/a> or add it to a smoothie or yogurt bowl. The ways to use this syrup are endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
