These pecans are super delicious and fabulous as a snack or cocktail nibble, on salads, yogurt, ice cream, desserts ... and they make a wonderful gift too!
This Maple Molasses Glazed Pecans recipe is one of those oldie but goodie recipes that got lost way back in the Café archives. I had totally forgotten about it (with over 1400 recipes, sometimes things slip a little) until I got these two emails recently:
I just made your Maple Molasses Glazed Pecans. Fantastic . . . especially when combined with the Buttermilk Maple Toffee Sauce over vanilla ice cream.
Of course these are good, but I can't believe what an incredible hit they've been with every single person I've gifted them to...family, friends and coworkers! These are going to become my annual holiday gift to everyone. Thanks so much for that!!
Intrigued, I quickly looked up the recipe, made a batch myself and was wowed by the delicious flavor, crisp, candylike coating and how crazy easy they are to make. How could I have forgotten about THIS one?
Ridiculously Easy
After seeing how quickly and easy this recipe comes together, I knew it needed to go into our Ridiculously Easy Recipe hall of fame, so I spiffed up the photos, post and recipe a bit and made a gift label to go along with everything. So here you go, a ridiculously easy, ridiculously delicious candied pecan recipe that I think will wow you too!
If you're not famililar with our Ridiculously Easy recipes, you can read all about them here but to quickly explain, they're a collection of our favorite recipes that are super easy and don't take a lot of hands-on time. My favorite way of describing this category is: "recipes that make you look like a kitchen rock star with minimal effort on your part".
Like that? Yep, me too!
Testing and tweaking
It took a few batches to get these pecans right. I was looking for a shiny, beautiful glaze and the first couple of tries just didn't make it. With a bit of testing and tweaking, I figured out a few little tricks to achieve the sheen I was looking for. I learned that the nuts need to be completely coated with the glaze before they go into the oven. Several little steps help me accomplish that. First, a short stint in the microwave (which thins out the syrup and molasses). A very thorough stir (one minute) after microwaving is also important. Lastly, having enough of the glaze makes a difference. After experimenting, I learned that ¼ cup of maple syrup is the perfect amount.
I love that the hands-on time (less than 5 minutes) and effort is pretty minimal with these delicious pecans (no one needs to know that). Maple, molasses and a touch of cinnamon wrap around the nuts to give a warm, wonderful flavor you can't quite put your finger on.
What to do with these Maple Molasses Glazed Pecans
I think you'll find lots of ways to use these fabulous sweet and salty nuts. Besides being an addictively delicious snack, they're also wonderful as a cocktail nibble, in salads, on yogurt, oatmeal, ice cream and they add a touch of crunchy gourmet, elegance to all kinds of other desserts. Just make plenty or hide them till you're ready to use them. Don't ask me how I know about this.
Want a super easy dessert idea that will wow everyone? Pick up some good vanilla ice cream, then whip up a batch of Microwave Caramel Sauce (the real deal) or this Ricidulously Easy Butterscotch Sauce. Scoop up the ice cream into pretty bowls, drizzle with the sauce then sprinkle your delicious sundaes with a few of these Maple Molasses Glazed Pecans - I promise, everyone will be in heaven (and you will have spent minimal time in the kitchen)!
Give them as a gift!
Need a little hostess, teacher or new-neighbor gift? Whip up a batch of these Maple Molasses Glazed Pecans, pack them up in a cellophane bag or gift box and add a pretty ribbon. They'll want to know which little gourmet market you picked them up at.

Café Tips for making these Ridiculously Easy Maple Molasses Glazed Pecans
- This recipe calls for a microwave-safe bowl. What does that mean? Microwave-safe simply means that the bowl won't get hot or melt in the microwave. Glass, most ceramic ware and heatproof glass ware are safe in the microwave oven. The best type of bowl to use for these nuts is a 4 or 8 cup pyrex measuring cup with a handle. The handle on these types of cups doesn't get hot.
- If I'm giving these pecans as gifts, I like to pick out the prettiest pecans that aren't broken up. I save the broken ones to sprinkle over salads, oatmeal, yogurt, ice cream, etc.
- If you store these nuts in an airtight container or ziplock bag, they'll stay fresh for a week to 10 days.
- Be careful when stirring these nuts, the glaze gets very hot.
- Don't skip lining your pan with foil and the greasing the foil. Otherwise the nuts will stick and make a mess.
- Work quickly in the final step as you turned the glazed nuts out onto the foil. Try to separate them as much as possible and spread them to a single layer.
Thought for the day:
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said,
"I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness,
but will have the light of life."
John 8:12

Maple Molasses Glazed Pecans
Ingredients
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325˚F. Line a sheet pan with foil and spray the foil generously with nonstick cooking spray. (this will keep nuts from sticking to the pan). Layout a second piece of foil on a work surface and again spray with nonstick cooking spray. Rub each with a small piece of paper toweling to evenly coat with the oil.
- Combine all ingredients except pecans in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Stir well.
- Add pecans, then place bowl in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 minute. This will thin out the maple mixture to help coat the pecans better. Stir continuously for 1 minute (no cheating, you want the syrup mixture to get in every little nook and cranny of the pecans), until pecans are thoroughly coated.
- Turn pecans out onto the prepared sheet pan, making sure to scrape out all of the maple syrup mixture as well. Spread out pecans to a single layer on the pan.
- Place pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and stir well to redistribute nuts then spread out again to a single layer. Bake until deep golden brown, about 8-12 minutes more. Watch them carefully towards the end as nuts can quickly burn.
- Stir again after removing from oven then spread out to a single layer on the prepared foil on your work surface.
- Allow to cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container for storage.

Pinch of salt
2 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups sugar
Add cranberries and salt to water, cover and cook until fruit is tender and pops open. Rub through a sieve to remove skin and seeds. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Put in lined muffin tins and freeze. Serve frozen. Makes 12.

Could I use all kind of nuts for this recipe ?
Yes, any type of nut will work!
Hi! I might have made something wrong since I ended up with with too much molasse and maple sirop in my pan ?!? It didn’t look as nice as yours but it’s good !
I’ll try them again with pacanes only. Thanks for the labels I’ve received yesterday !
Hi Helene, yes, try again, there shouldn't be too much liquid left in the pan.
I’am a big fan of nuts and this one I will try right now !
I’d love to have the lovely presentation. I’ve made my sister so happy with her eatable birthday gift.
She doesn’t like to cook but I do 🙂

Thank you for the delicious treat of these pecans!
The sweetness of the maple syrup is countered beautifully with the smokiness of the molasses. And then you get a wee hit of the salt and warmth of the cinnamon . . . so wonderful! You can be assured it is added to my 'Nut' file!
The only change I made was to use 'regular' olive oil as we have an adverse extra virgin oil home!
Living in Canada, we use use maple syrup with great frequency and your recipe provides one more great way to highlight it!
I have just discovered your lovely site and I'm looking forward to exploring it further! I especially enjoyed reading how the naming of your site came to be and your personal background histories . . . very inspirational! Thank you for inviting us in!
Kind Wishes from the Canadian Prairies.
Hi Alex, thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind comment! I'm so happy you enjoyed the recipe. Welcome to the Café!

Sure! They should be in your email shortly, Jo!
A welcome Christmas treat for friends. Easy to make.
Yes! Sending the labels shortly, Phyllis!
Can't wait to try these. I make a lot of different candied nuts around the holidays but don't have a recipe using Maple Syrup. Please send labels. Thank you.
I think you'll love the maple syrup, Liz! We'll be happy to send the labels.
Chris,
I’d love to have the link for the labels and boxes. I have an embosser from W-S which I use with pretty foil stickers for tops of jars, but these labels look sweet, too for the boxes. Thanks for helping all of us who love food and baking look amazing! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Your embosser sounds so pretty, Nancy! Thanks for your kind comment 💕 We'll get the labels off to you now!
These pecans look delicious and will make a lovely gift! I would love to have the gift tags to go with them. Thanks for sharing.

We'll be happy to send them, Trish!
I'd love to make these as gifts. May I also have a copy of the tags please.
Thank you,
Gwen
Hi Gwen, sure! They're on the way!
These look wonderfully delicious. I can’t wait to purchase some pecans so I can make them as neighbor gifts. Please could you send the gift tags which will definitely put the topping to the package. Merry Christmas to all!
Merry Christmas to you, Rhoda! Sending the labels your way!
The pecans look delicious. I would love to have the labels. Thank you.
Sure, they're on the way, Debbie!
Thank you for sharing this receipt. I would love the little tag! What a wonderful hostess gift for the holidays.
Thank you!
Hi Patty, these will be a wonderful hostess gift! Sending the labels now!
This recipe was so good, I immediately made another batch. I plan to give these pecans as gifts this Christmas. thank you so much. So easy and oh so good!
Thanks, Jeanne! I'm so happy you enjoyed this recipe!
Thank you for sharing! I slightly modified this recipe to use on peanuts (3 Tbsp of Maple Syrup & didn't thin out the maple mixture). Very pleased with the results! Delicious!
Thanks for sharing your results, Rebecca!
I just made these and they are fantastic!
Hi Chris, I sought out this recipe as a way to include more nuts in my diet for their nutritional value. As far as sweeteners go I know that maple, molasses and cinnamon are all on the healthy side if used in moderation. However, I was wondering if baking the nuts in the oven affected their national value at all? I know that cooking many foods can reduce or eliminate the nutritional benefits that would be gained from eating them raw. Would baking affect the health benefits of pecans or other nuts like almonds and walnuts?
Hi Morgen, that's a good question! Baking or roasting nuts has almost no effect on their nutritional value. So go ahead and enjoy!!! 🙂
Can't wait to try these! Hope I have enough left after nibbling to give away. 🙂
Chris, Is the glaze on these somewhat soft or hard like brittle? The reason I ask is that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Stuckey's Candy that was made and sold back in the 50's thru the 70's at the roadside stores mostly in the south. The company still sells some of their products on the internet but not the one I love. It was a pecan glaze that sort of looked like brittle but the glaze was clear and not completely solid. It could break like brittle or sometimes pull like a thick toffee. I don;t experiment much when I cook and I don;t make candy - so that is why I ask. I am thinking that perhaps your sauce {if made in a large quantity) would cover a single layer of pecans about almost to the top of them,
I appreciate your reply.
Hi Ursula, I remember Stuckey's but don't think I ever had that candy. The glaze is fairly hard on these pecans so I'm not sure that would work for this candy.
Everyone thinks about eating them quickly, but how can I store them? I live in the mountains. I can & freeze
most things. Can I freeze them in plastic bags or put them in a sealed jar on a shelf?. Can I keep them for months?
Even if I can't I'll make them for all to enjoy.
Thanks, Jane
Hi Jane,
I haven't tried to freeze these pecans but I think it should be fine. I would freeze them on a sheet pan, then when frozen slip them into a ziplock bag.
Of course these are good, but I can't believe what an incredible hit they've been with every single person I've gifted them to...family, friends and coworkers! These are going to become my annual holiday gift to everyone. Thanks so much for that!!
That's awesome, Jessica! Thanks for letting us know!
These pecans look irresistible! That glaze sounds incredible, I know I'd be snacking on these pecans all day long!
With my tree nut allergy, I almost skipped this post, but I am glad I didn't! The glaze sounds like it would be great on peanuts (which I CAN eat) too! Maple and molasses are wonderful flavors for dipping your toes at the edge of fall. Cinnamon too!
I love, love candied pecans---and these flavors are perfect for autumn! I'd love a stash for holiday hostess gifts, too!!
I try to keep brown sugar-butter pecans on hand for salads especially, Chris, and will have to try your version, the maple syrup sounds divine!
You found the perfect container for these! This is a beautiful and delicious gateway snack to fall season.
Hi,
Can I use walnut as well
Hi Renuka, I think walnuts should work fine, although I haven't tried them. I would make sure to stir them really, really, well to make sure they get coated with the syrup mixture as walnuts have even more nooks and crannies than pecans! Let us know how they turn out.
Love these Chris, these are the real deal. I have bought them pre-made before and they were like rocks. Pinned!
Oh Chris I want to sprinkle these guys over EVERYTHING --- starting with my morning oatmeal 🙂
Is it 2 cups of pecans for this recipe?
Hi Tara,
Yes, it is! Thanks so much for noticing that. I’ve corrected the recipe.
They look incredibly delicious and addictive too!
Thanks Angie, it's extremely difficult to eat just a few of them!
What a great idea! Love the molasses and the flavours are perfect for this time of year 🙂
Thanks Jennifer!
I have made with MS never w/ molasses must try:) They look lovely..standalone or in salads.
I think you'll love the combo Monique. You don't really taste molasses, just a delicious flavor you can't quite figure out 🙂
These look wonderful Chris! Maple syrup and molasses - what a wonderful combination. I'm ready for fall, pumpkins, fleece jackets and cold mornings! Bring it 🙂
Thanks Tricia, yes, maple and molasses are a delicious fall combination of flavors! I'm trying not to think about fleece jackets and cold mornings yet but I'm really looking forward to leave these steamy temps behind,
Sounds yummy and appears doable without the microwave!
Thanks Jo Anne, yes you could definitely use the stovetop to make these. Enjoy!
