Pure maple syrup is concentrated maple sap used for flavor and sweetness in glazes, cakes, sauces, and breakfast foods. Its dissolved sugars also contribute moisture and browning, so replacing it with a dry sweetener changes more than sweetness.
This record applies to pure maple syrup at roughly room temperature, not pancake syrup or maple cream. Refrigerate it after opening, and let the liquid settle before reading the line; 1 US cup is about 315 grams.

Pure maple syrup, pancake syrup, and maple cream have different compositions and cannot share one cup weight.
Cooler syrup flows more slowly, and syrup left coating a container reduces the amount that reaches the recipe.

A light coating can reduce transfer loss, but weighing the syrup directly into the bowl is cleaner and more accurate.
Pure maple syrup is concentrated maple sap. Pancake syrup is commonly formulated from other sweeteners and flavorings, so it has a different composition and should not inherit this measurement profile.
Refrigerate pure maple syrup after opening in a tightly closed container. This protects its quality and reduces the chance of surface mold.
