These easy Maple Walnuts are made in minutes. They make a great hostess gift or appetizer.

Any recipe I can make in minutes is a keeper in my book. Adding maple syrup to walnuts is simple, but it elevates them up a notch, and these Maple Walnuts become a great appetizer or homemade hostess gift.
The maple syrup becomes candied onto the walnuts and they are not sticky at all. Add them to a salad, trail mix, overnight oats, or vegan yogurt.
They also taste great on vegan ice cream, pancakes, French toast, and waflles.
Another great way to elevate nuts to a new level is my Vegan Mexican Chocolate Covered Almonds recipe.
🧾 Ingredients

- Walnuts: I used unsalted roasted cashews because I like to control the amount of salt. I like roasted for the crunchy roasted taste. You could use salted roasted cashews.
- Maple syrup: For its sweet maple flavor.
- Salt: Enhances flavors.
