Slow Cooker Maple Glazed Pecans (Vegan)

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. I just made a batch and spread them out to cool but there was still maple syrup that didn't dry making some of the nuts wet ... any ideas what I did wrong? cook longer? lid off? can I throw them back in the slow cooker after they have cooled to 'dry' them up?

    1. Don’t leave them in the cooker!! I did that by mistake and they were sure sticky and hard to get out. I’d spread them onto a layer of parchment and just let them dry at a cool room temp overnight.

  2. I make these ALL THE TIME! I stumbled upon this recipe last holiday season after burning a batch of candied pecans in my oven that used egg whites and plenty of sugar. I love the beneficial ingredients and I found this recipe simple and easy to control. I ended up giving these in mason jars as a part of our homemade Christmas gifts and they were devoured! A+ recipe, a must try.

  4. I made the walnuts today. Since the recipe said "1-3 hours" in the crockpot, I left them in for 2 hours. After cooling they are still rather sticky. Any suggestions?

  7. Wondering if you had thoughts on how these could be made sugar free? I am thinking of using stevia (pure) or erythritol or xylitol? I am on an Anti-Candida protocol and can't use anything that is a sugar base! Would love your input if you have any suggestions! Thanks in advance!

    2. Hi there, I tried doubling the recipe and for me it was a matter for floor space on the bottom of the cooker. I like to spread them out evenly in one layer so they cook equally.... adding more would impede that, but that’s just a theory
