Slow Cooker Maple Glazed Pecans (Vegan)

Melissa King Recipes, Roasted Chickpeas, Nuts and Popcorn

Slow Cooker Maple Glazed Pecans.  The other day I happened to find an interesting recipe on Pinterest.  It was Vegan in the Freezer’s Slow Cooker Maple Glazed Walnuts.

I loved the idea of cooking the nuts in the crock pot.  Something I had never thought to try.  I am not a fan of walnuts, so I made slow cooked nuts with pecans.

My recipe is loosely adapted from hers.  These came out amazing!  I didn’t even cook them that long, but the maple syrup almost caramelizes.

So good! I love the salty sweet combo. It reminded me of the flavors in kettle corn.  The crock pot will seem like it’s going to be hard to clean.

Here is a trick.  Once the nuts are done, fill the crock pot with soapy water and turn it back on for a few minutes.  Then it will be super easy to clean.

  1. These are going in the crock pot this weekend for sure! I might add a pinch of cayenne pepper as well. These would make great holiday gifts as well. Thanks for the great recipes!

  2. I wonder if this would work well with honey? pecans and honey are two things readily available down here! Maple syrup is not indigenous and would have to be purchased and probably not very fresh in the local super markets.

  5. What a great idea! I usually make my nuts in the oven but I am so excited to try this method. My crockpot doesn't get used enough. Thanks for sharing! P.S. Just discovered your blog when I stated getting a lot of hits from your facebook page when you shared my curried quinoa recipe. I am really enjoying browsing through your posts! :)

    2. Yes, I always double the recipe in my regular sized crock pot (not the oval- just the round one) and they come out great every time. I also add cinnamon and an extra few tablespoons of syrup.

  14. We made these last night...so delicious....I kept snacking on them even while they were cooking.....put them on a cookie sheet to cool after they were done. My daughter threw some dairy free choc.chips on while they were still hot....and we all loved them. Thanks for the recipe!

  15. These were amazing...and addicting! I did a mixture of pecans, cashews and almonds for a friend's baby shower today and they were a hit. I used 1.5 tsp vanilla extract and baked them on a cookie sheet for a few minutes at the end to finish them quicker. Thanks!!!

  20. Have looked for days for a similar recipe in my many cookbooks and mags to use almonds. Am putting them on now. the crockpot keeps the oven free for 2 double batches of bread. Thanks a bunch for the recipe.
