Best Tools for Vegan Maple Roasted Pecans

Wondering what tools I use to make these maple cinnamon pecans?

  • Baking Sheet – sturdy enough for 100s of baking sessions!

Description

Skillet Roasted Maple Cinnamon Pecans: this 5 minute maple pecans recipe is quick & easy! The ultimate maple roasted pecans with cinnamon & coconut sugar. Paleo, Dairy-Free, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar-Free.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 2 cups unsalted, raw pecans

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together coconut sugar, cinnamon and maple.
  3. In a large, nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, add coconut oil and the coconut sugar mixture. Stir until melted and smooth.
  4. Add pecans and increase heat to medium. Stir until pecans are thoroughly coated. Switch to stirring occasionally, allowing pecans to soak in the sugar mixture. Watch the pecans closely. Stir until the sugar mixture is almost completely soaked up and the pecans are sticky like taffy. This will take 3-5 minutes.
  5. Pour pecans onto the prepared baking sheet, creating an even, spread out layer. Set baking sheet on a cooling rack. Allow to cool for 1 hour. Break apart into desired size. Enjoy!

    These look delicious, I know you mentioned they can last in an airtight container for up to a month, do you think they could last longer if so how long? I am playing around with making roasted nuts with natural ingredients and want to know long they can be kept in an airtight container safely without spoiling?

      Hi Jamie, I’ve kept mine for up to two months in some cases. Just make sure to keep them out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to make them last as long as possible. Enjoy!

    I came across your recipe on Pinterest and just finished making them. I used half cashews and pecans and they came out great. Over the years I’ve tried many different recipes for candied nuts and yours is the best! I love that you use coconut oil and sugar, which I always have on hand. Thank you for a great recipe, this will be my go to recipe from now on for candied nuts.

    Hi,
    This looks really good and I was wondering what I can use in place of coconut oil. I’m allergic to coconuts. I really want to try this. Please let me know something. Also how many carbs do they have. I’m on a low carb lifestyle.

      Hi Debi! You might try your favorite cooking oil. Keep in mind that your choice of oil will affect the flavor and texture of the nuts. Enjoy!
