Ingredients
Joy Filled Eats Sweetener - See the recipe card for options for other sweeteners that you can use as well. I prefer my own homemade sweetener which is a blend of sugar alcohols and stevia.
Boiling water - You can heat this in a small saucepan on the stove.
Extract of your choice - Choose from vanilla, maple, almond, etc.
How to make this Keto Coffee Syrup Recipe
Sugar-free syrups like this are fast and simple to make - perfect for the keto diet. There is just one simple step to making this keto syrup, so have fun and get ready to love the outcome.
Step One: Mix the ingredients together until everything is melted well. Once you have everything mixed together well, all that is left to do is to pour into your coffee and stir. Take a sip, and decide if you want to add more flavor or not. It's as simple as that!
Storage: I store my sugar free coffee syrup recipe in a mason jar in the refrigerator. It keeps for weeks this way. If you prefer, you can leave it at room temperature for 2-3 days instead.
Variations
Change the extracts - Each time you make this, you can change the extract that you use. Vanilla extract is popular, but don't forget that almond extract is pretty delicious as well. Once you change the extract, you just follow the rest of the recipe card to finish making the keto sweetener - it's as simple as that.
Maple extract is a really great choice if you're going to make this add or use it as keto pancake syrup. The keto maple syrup cuts out the sugar content while still adding fun and different flavors. You will likely want to add a thickening agent to get more of a syrup look and texture, but the flavor will be spot on perfect!
Add cinnamon - You can add warmth to your favorite drink by turning this into homemade sugar-free cinnamon syrup. Don't forget to use cinnamon sticks to stir for even more flavor! (This is a fun addition to do during the holiday months, as cinnamon is just something that people typically associate with that time of year!)
Brown sugar sweetener - Swap in a brown sugar substitute if you prefer using regular brown sugar in your coffee.

Just made this also using your all natural sweetener.
It’s so fantastic! In syrup form, in blends in smoothly and really has a nice even taste as opposed to me just using monkfruit in my coffee.
Great idea! Thanks so much for sharing 🩷
