In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat egg whites with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form.
Bring the maple syrup to a boil over medium heat with salt in a saucepan until it reaches a rolling boil. Make sure you don’t leave it and remove it from the heat immediately to avoid overflowing.
While the mixer is on medium speed, pour the hot maple syrup into the stiff egg whites slowly and steadily.
Continue beating until thick, fluffy, and well combined.
Your delicious maple syrup frosting is now ready to be used.

Notes
Recipe TipsUse pure maple syrup for this recipe. Ensure the syrup is brought to a boil, but don't leave it as it will boil over. Add 1 tsp flavored extract like vanilla or almond if you like. How to Pipe Maple Frosting on Cupcakes: Fill your piping bag and twist the top to seal. Start in the center of the cupcake and swirl outward in a circle. For a swirl or rosette, apply steady pressure and lift up gently at the end. It’s easier than it looks—and a little practice goes a long way!
