maple extract

Pancake flavor source

Maple extract is a flavoring derived from maple syrup or maple sap, used in baking and cooking to add maple taste without the liquid volume of syrup.

Like vanilla extract, it's concentrated and typically contains alcohol as a solvent: Add a teaspoon of maple extract to the pancake batter.

Imitation versions use artificial flavoring.
