About measuring maple syrup
Pure maple syrup is a dense sugar solution, so like honey it weighs well above water. One US cup is about 322 grams. It pours more freely than honey but still coats the measuring cup, so weighing is cleaner and more accurate. In baking, maple syrup brings both sweetness and liquid, so if you swap it in for granulated sugar you usually need to trim the other liquids to keep the batter balanced.
Maple syrup adds liquid as well as sweetness. Reduce other liquids a little when substituting.
