Maple Glazed Nut Clusters are sweet, crunchy, and wholesome snacks made with a medley of nuts coated in a simple maple glaze. They’re naturally vegan, gluten-free, and perfect for snacking, gifting, or topping salads and yogurt.

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts, cashews, etc.)
  2. 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  3. 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional)
  4. 1/2 tsp sea salt
  5. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  6. 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm maple syrup and coconut oil (if using) for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, sea salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  3. Add mixed nuts and stir until evenly coated.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the glazed nuts onto the prepared baking sheet, forming clusters.
  5. Cool at room temperature for 30–45 minutes until glaze hardens, or refrigerate for faster setting.
  6. Transfer clusters to an airtight container for storage.

Notes

  • Add a pinch of cayenne or chili flakes for a spicy-sweet version.
  • Drizzle with melted dark chocolate once cooled for extra indulgence.
  • Mix in dried fruit like cranberries, raisins, or dates for variety.
  • Use pumpkin or sunflower seeds instead of nuts for a nut-free option.
  • Toast nuts before glazing for deeper flavor.
