With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, many of us are looking for something thoughtful to cook or bake — whether it’s for a partner, friends, or simply a little self-love. From brunch to cocktails and sweet treats, these maple-infused recipes, created on behalf of Maple from Canada (Australia), add a touch of comfort and natural sweetness to the occasion.

For a sweet way to start Valentine’s, try these delicious Raspberry Maple Pancakes with Maple Coulis. The light pink and fluffy pancakes, drizzled with pure Canadian maple syrup and raspberry coulis are perfect for an extra special brunch.



For the ultimate date night at home, try making your own Maki Sushi Rolls with Maple Soy Sauce. This is a dinner you can both get involved in and these rolls are surprisingly easy to make too!



Toast to your Valentine with a glass of Maple to Montreal. This light and refreshing fizzy cocktail is infused with pure maple syrup, rum, lime juice, and topped up with prosecco and garnished with orange zest.



For something sweet that can be made in advance, cool down with Frozen Strawberry, Maple and Yoghurt Bark—the perfect recipe for those wanting something sweet to snack on. With ingredients such as Greek yoghurt, pure Canadian maple syrup, and fresh berries you can eat this totally guilt-free! Leave in the freezer and treat yourself all day long – that's self-love!
