Maple Glazed Nuts
Sweet, crunchy, and incredibly moreish, these Maple Glazed Nuts are one of the easiest treats you can make! With just a handful of ingredients and five minutes of your time, you can whip up a batch of these delicious nuts, perfect for snacking or gifting.
Ingredients
- 110g / 1 cup pecans
- 160g / 1 cup roasted or blanched almonds
- 80ml / 4 TBSP maple syrup (pure maple or a blended syrup*)
- pinch of sea salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat a large dry frying pan (skillet) over medium-high heat.
- Add the nuts and dry fry for 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Pour in the maple syrup and stir for about 3 minutes, until the syrup thickens and becomes very sticky.
- Using a spatula, transfer the nuts to a sheet of non-stick baking paper and spread them out in a single layer. If you enjoy a sweet-salty combo, sprinkle over a pinch of sea salt while they’re still hot.
- Allow to cool completely. The nuts will firm up and become glossy and crisp as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge, or the freezer for longer freshness.
Notes
* I often use Clark's Original, which is a blend of maple and carob syrup. It works perfectly for this recipe and is more affordable than pure maple syrup.
Tips & Variations:
- Add a little spice – a pinch of cinnamon or smoked paprika adds a lovely twist
- Try different nut combos – walnuts, cashews, hazelnuts, or peanuts work well too
- Gift idea – package in a glass jar with a ribbon for a homemade holiday or hostess gift
