    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 waffles.

    Another great way to elevate nuts to a new level is my Vegan Mexican Chocolate Covered Almonds recipe.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It's made with only 3 ingredients.
    • It is made in minutes.
    • It makes a great gift.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • 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. It also tastes great in Maple Tahini Salad Dressing.
    • Salt: Enhances flavors.
