Easy Maple Spiced Nuts by Flora & Vino

Wait, how is it October?

On my neighborhood walk yesterday, M and I meandered through the neighborhood to check out the Halloween decorations.

There were plenty of pumpkins and on doorsteps and cob webs in windows.

One of the houses near the edge of my complex is *really* into decorating.

Multiple scarecrows, pumpkins, ghosts, and ghouls demanded attention from the lawn and sidewalk, making it impossible to walk by without taking notice.

As hyped decorations as they are, they seem to be equally as disinterested in the clean up.

To the right of the playful Halloween scene lie a heap of Christmas nutcrackers, lights on strings, and fake fir trees.

And it’s been there since last December.

Laugh out loud.

Whether you have your Halloween or Christmas decor on standby or not, the holidays are coming!

So here’s a quick recipe that’s bound to make you feel cozy this fall and winter.

These Easy Maple Spiced Nuts are easy enough to make in 30 minutes for a sweet crunchy snack, dessert, or appetizer.

Fact: Candied nuts are *so* good.

I mean, nuts alone are addicting, and then coating them in sugar and spices?

Yes, please.

Unfortunately, most of the store-bought blends out there are loaded with refined sugars and oils.

So let’s make one that’s lightened up and naturally sweet, shall we?

These Easy Maple Spiced Nuts are packed with healthy nutty fats and naturally sweetened with unrefined coconut sugar and maple syrup!

Easy Maple Spiced Nuts process shot

Here’s what you need:

  • raw pecans
  • Open Nature® Shelled Walnuts
  • O Organics® Organic Coconut Oil
  • ground cinnamon
  • ground nutmeg
  • Himalayan sea salt
  • unrefined coconut sugar
  • O Organics® Organic Pure Maple Syrup

That’s it!

First, select your nut mixture while the oven preheats.

I used pecans and walnuts for this spiced nuts recipe, but any nuts will work!

Add the nuts to a large mixing bowl and toss with the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and maple syrup until they’re well coated, fragrant, and sticky. 

Next, transfer the nuts to a baking sheet and spread into an even layer, making sure they don’t touch or overlap. 

Bake them for a total of 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. 

I recommend tossing the nuts once at the halfway point to ensure even baking!

I used some of my favorite Safeway products to make this recipe!

The O Organics Organic Coconut Oil and O Organics Organic Pure Maple Syrup are all from my local Safeway store’s exclusive O Organics® product line and the Open Nature Shelled Walnuts are from their Open Nature® product line.

The O Organics® brand is special because it’s entirely USDA Certified Organic! Open Nature® products are minimally processed and free from 110 food additives like artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives.

Safeway offers new on-trend products at value prices compared to leading organic brands, making eating healthily more accessible and affordable than ever.

Both O Organics and Open Nature have a wide assortment of organic, minimally processed and protein-rich products for every occasion throughout the store.

I buy my O Organics and Open Nature products at my local Safeway store, and you can also find them exclusively at the Albertsons Companies family of stores, including Albertsons, ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Shaw’s, Star Market, United Supermarkets and Carrs/Safeway.

OK, so the kitchen smells amazing and your nuts are nicely browned and sticky sweet fresh out of the oven. 

This is the hardest part.

Are you ready?

You have to wait for the nuts to cool before serving.

I believe in you.

Ensure the nuts are completely cool before storing in an airtight container.

Enjoy these Easy Maple Spiced Nuts for a sweet dessert, appetizer, or snack.

Try doubling or tripling the recipe to make a big batch for gifting!

I think they look fantastic in a mason jar tied with red ribbon for a thoughtful and delicious holiday gift.

The nuts keep for 3-4 weeks at room temperature so you don’t need to worry about them surviving during the holiday craziness!

Try mixing up the nuts and spices for different variations.

I think almonds or cashews would be fantastic here, too, in addition or in place of the walnuts and pecans.

To play with the spice blend, try adding coriander for more of a citrus note or a pinch of cayenne for some heat.

Enjoy!

Not sure what to make this week? I got you. 👍 T Not sure what to make this week? I got you. 👍 This VEGAN MEAL PREP RECIPE ROUND UP is new on the blog today! By now, you might have heard me talking about the cookbook that I’m working on. The theme is Vegan Meal Prep and includes mix and match recipes for how to be plant-based even when life is crazy (which it always is– right?). So I’ve been working my way through the F&V archives, drawing inspiration from my favorite easy-to-prep plant-based recipes. While making my meal prep list, I thought, why not share this resource with you guys, too? 😁
-
If you’ve been here a while you know that all of the recipes on Flora & Vino are pretty darn simple with minimal ingredients. Therefore, it could easily be argued that *all* F&V recipes are meal-prep-able. However, there are definitely some that fit more conveniently into the meal prep lifestyle more than others!
-
In this Vegan Meal Prep Recipe Round Up you’ll find Grab & Go Breakfasts, Quick & Easy Lunches, Portable Snacks, Sheet Pan Meals, One-Pot Soups & Stews, Easy Dinners, and Fuss-Free Desserts. Everything you need to make plant-based eating easy and fun all week long! Enjoy!! Access the meal prep guide by clicking the link in my profile then this image.

VEGAN & GLUTEN-FREE CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD. 🍞🔥About to take a chilly sub-freezing Sunday walk with a friend and I’d love to have a loaf of this prepared when I get back. 😍 This vegan and gluten-free cinnamon raisin bread is refined sugar free and packed with raisins and texture. It’s hearty enough to serve for a breakfast bread or nutritious snack but sweet enough to also function as a healthful dessert. For even more texture, try adding walnuts or almonds when folding in the raisins! Pro tips Serve your slices warm with a big smear of almond butter. 😍Grab the full recipe via the link in my profile!

Can we make Soba Saturday a thing? 🥰 🍜🍳Th Can we make Soba Saturday a thing? 🥰 🍜🍳This CASHEW BUTTER SOBA NOODLE STIR FRY is new on the blog today. This simple stir-fry is made with buckwheat soba noodles and tender-crisp vegetables in a creamy cashew butter sauce. It’s perfect for a quick and cozy plant-based dinner! 👏
-
This recipe’s foundation is made with @edenfoods Buckwheat Soba Noodles. //#sponsored If you’re gluten-free like me, you might have mistakenly avoided buckwheat believing that it is a type of wheat. However, despite the name, buckwheat isn’t a wheat at all, and is actually naturally gluten-free! 😱
Buckwheat protein is awesome because it has all essential amino acids. @edenfoods Buckwheat Soba Noodles are made from only two ingredients: 100% whole grain organic buckwheat and purified water! They’re fantastic paired with tender-crisp veggies and a dreamy cashew butter sauce. 🥰
