With the sun warming our skin and the scent of backyard barbeques in the air, Summer is calling - and so are the fresh, vibrant flavours that come with it. From chilled teas to nourishing breakfasts and gourmet grilled creations, Maple from Canada has curated a collection of recipes that capture the sweetness and vitality of the season.
Each dish celebrates the natural goodness of pure Canadian maple syrup, a golden elixir that adds depth, balance, and a touch of indulgence to any meal.
A Taste of Canada, Naturally
Maple from Canada is more than just a sweetener - it’s a story of craftsmanship and nature in harmony. Sourced from the pristine forests of Quebec, this pure maple syrup is a 100% natural product made simply by concentrating maple tree sap. It’s rich in minerals, antioxidants and subtle layers of flavour - from smoky caramel to warm vanilla - that make it the perfect companion for both sweet and savoury dishes.
Start your day on a wholesome note with maple peanut butter overnight oats with chia seeds. This easy, protein-packed breakfast is a lifesaver for the busy 9-to-5 crowd. In just 10 minutes, you can create a jar of creamy oats infused with the nutty richness of peanut butter and the natural sweetness of pure maple syrup. Left to chill overnight, it transforms into a refreshing, energising breakfast - the perfect way to greet a Summer morning.
When the weekend rolls around, treat yourself to a stack of cottage cheese and maple syrup pancakes by Maple from Canada ambassador Ashley Alexander of Gather & Feast. These pancakes are soft, light and subtly tangy, made with wholesome ingredients and no added salt.
The creamy cottage cheese base gives them a protein boost, while a drizzle of maple syrup and a handful of seasonal strawberries add natural sweetness and colour. It’s the kind of breakfast that turns an ordinary morning into something special.
No Summer afternoon is complete without something cool in hand. The chilled maple mint tea with citrus slices is as invigorating as a dip in the pool. Brewed with tea, fresh mint and lime, then sweetened with pure maple syrup, this drink balances zest and sweetness beautifully.
For an extra twist, freeze maple-sweetened mint water into ice cubes - they melt slowly, keeping your drink full of flavour to the last sip.
Take your barbeque to new heights with the BBQ peach, ricotta and rocket salad with maple balsamic reduction. Juicy, caramelised peaches brushed with maple syrup meet creamy ricotta, peppery rocket and crispy croutons tossed with olive oil and herbs. Drizzle with a tangy maple balsamic reduction for a dish that’s light yet luxurious - a perfect pairing for long Summer lunches.
Finally, for a taste of seaside luxury, oysters Kilpatrick with maple dressing brings an elegant twist to a beloved Australian classic. Crispy bacon, Worcestershire sauce, tabasco and maple syrup come together in a sweet and smoky glaze that perfectly complements freshly shucked oysters. Served on rock salt with lemon wedges, it’s a show-stopping appetiser that marries Canadian sweetness with Australian flair.
From morning oats to twilight BBQs, Maple from Canada’s recipes bring warmth, creativity and pure natural flavour to every Summer moment - proving that the simplest ingredients, when made with care, can truly shine.
