If you do an internet search, you might find recipes for "syrups" using guar gum or xanthum gum as thickeners.
But any syrup is just sugar and water boiled together until the mixture slightly thickens. Splenda and stevia won't thicken liquids. So you really can't use that because you'll just have a sweet tasting water.
Frankly, I would ditch the whole syrup thing. Instead, I would add a couple drops of maple extract to softened butter, mix well, and use that for your pancakes.
By the way, what kind of pancakes are you going to use this syrup on?
Cozy Cottage has a good syrup that is sugar free. I am now using Maple Grove Farm's sugar free, but it's not as good as the Cozy Cottage. I get the Cozy Cottage at Kroger and the MGF at Wal-Mart.
People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.
