This looks like a very good recipe for ekto diet. What can I replace maple syrup with?can I use stevia instead?

I have never cooked with stevia, so not sure how it will work. Maple syrup not only adds sweetness, but also binds all the ingredients together. If you do try, would love to hear your feedback!
