This year especially, I have been really trying to make better food choices for myself and my family. Not that we are perfect by a long stretch, but I quit buying regular syrup from the grocery store about 5 months ago. I switched to organic real maple syrup but my kids really didn’t like it. So I came up with this homemade cinnamon buttermilk syrup recipe and we have never looked back!

It’s not healthy in the sense that’s it low sugar or low calorie, but it is made with real ingredients. No corn syrup, no high fructose corn syrup, and no artificial colors or flavors or additives (like every grocery store options).

I usually double this homemade cinnamon buttermilk syrup recipe when I make it, because it is THAT good.

Pair it with my healthy pumpkin waffles or your favorite pancake recipe. This syrup will completely transform store bought options too!

Everyone always asks about this griddle – this is what I use and have loved it for YEARS! And it’s on SALE!

I keep one batch in the fridge (in plastic squeeze bottle) and one in freezer. Since there isn’t a bunch of yucky stuff in it, this homemade syrup will last in your fridge 1-2 weeks. It’s easy to freeze too! In an air tight container, it freezes well for up to 3 months.

Homemade Cinnamon Buttermilk Syrup Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Buttermilk
1/2 cup Butter
1 tsp Baking Soda
3/4 cup Real (Pure) Maple Syrup
1/2 tsp Cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

Add sugar and butter to a saucepan. Let the butter melt and stir till completely combined.
Slowly add in buttermilk and bring to a boil. Continue to boil for 6 minutes whisking continually .
remove from heat and stir in baking soda. Be careful because the baking soda will cause the mixture to bubble up. continue to whisk until combined.
Slowly add the real maple syrup and cinnamon, whisk to combine.
Serve over pancakes, waffles, or French toast. I always serve warm.
Sprinkle with cinnamon to taste and enjoy!

You can serve this homemade syrup hot, straight from the stove. Or if it’s refrigerated you can simply just warm it up in the plastic squeeze bottle by putting it in a bowl of hot water.
