Maple extract is a concentrated flavoring made from the sap of maple trees or synthesized to mimic the rich, sweet, and earthy taste of maple syrup. It is commonly used in baking, desserts, and beverages to impart a distinct maple flavor without adding the sweetness or thickness of syrup. Its aromatic profile is warm and nutty, with hints of caramel and vanilla, making it a versatile addition to recipes like cookies, cakes, frostings, and even savory glazes.
