With a rich maple flavor and crunchy pecans baked into a buttery crust, these bars offer the same comforting taste of a traditional pecan pie but in a convenient, shareable form.
Preparation takes about 20 minutes, with an additional baking time of 30 minutes, making them a quick yet impressive dessert option.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cooking Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and melted butter to create the crust mixture. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Bake the crust for about 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the filling by whisking together the maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Stir in the chopped pecans until they are evenly coated with the filling mixture.
- Once the crust has baked, remove it from the oven and pour the pecan filling over the hot crust.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the filling is set and slightly puffed up.
- Remove from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out and cut them into squares.
Variations and Tips:
- For a deeper flavor, toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes before adding them to the filling.
- Add a splash of bourbon or rum to the filling for an adult twist.
- To make it even more decadent, drizzle some melted dark chocolate over the top once cooled.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the refrigerator for a week.
- These bars can also be frozen; simply wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. Thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy!

Indulge in a light and revitalizing Maple Whipped Cream and Berry Parfait, a delightful summer dessert that showcases the natural sweetness of maple syrup combined with fresh berries. This elegant yet simple dish is perfect for serving at family gatherings, summer picnics, or as a sophisticated ending to any meal.
With a preparation time of just 20 minutes, you can whip up this treat in no time, making it an ideal option for those seeking a quick yet impressive dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- Granola or crushed cookies (optional, for layering)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Maple Whipped Cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Be careful not to overbeat, as you want a fluffy texture.
2. Wash and Prepare the Berries: Rinse the mixed berries under cold water and gently pat them dry. If using strawberries, slice them into halves or quarters for easier layering.
3. Assemble the Parfaits: In serving glasses or bowls, start by spooning a layer of the maple whipped cream at the bottom.
Follow with a layer of mixed berries, then add a layer of granola or crushed cookies if desired. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a dollop of maple whipped cream on top.
4. Garnish: Top with additional berries and a sprig of fresh mint for a beautiful finish.
5. Chill (optional): For an even more revitalizing dessert, place the assembled parfaits in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
Variations and Tips
- Berry Alternatives: Feel free to use other seasonal fruits such as peaches, cherries, or figs depending on your preference and availability.
- Healthier Option: You can substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free version, and use a natural sweetener like honey or agave instead of maple syrup.
- Layering Technique: For a beautiful presentation, use clear glasses to showcase the colorful layers and consider using a piping bag to add the whipped cream for a more decorative touch.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the maple whipped cream and wash the berries ahead of time, assembling the parfaits just before serving to keep the granola crunchy.

Maple Glazed Donuts
Maple glazed donuts are a delightful treat that perfectly capture the essence of summer with their sweet, rich flavor and airy texture. These donuts are ideal for brunches, summer picnics, or simply as a delectable dessert for any occasion.
With a preparation time of around 30 minutes and a little additional time for frying and cooling, you’ll have a batch of these delicious treats ready in no time.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for frying
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick but slightly lumpy.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). While the oil is heating, prepare a cooling rack lined with paper towels.
- Once the oil is hot, use a piping bag or a spoon to carefully drop the batter into the oil, forming donut shapes. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts and transfer them to the cooling rack.
- While the donuts cool slightly, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and maple syrup in a bowl until smooth.
- Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, dip the tops into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. Set the glazed donuts on the cooling rack to let the glaze set.
Variations and Tips:
- For a fun twist, consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for added texture and flavor.
- You can also infuse the glaze with vanilla or even a splash of bourbon for an adult version.
- If you want baked maple donuts instead, simply pour the batter into a greased donut pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes.
- Donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two. Consider reheating slightly in the microwave for a warm treat.
- For a decorative touch, sprinkle chopped nuts or colorful sprinkles on top of the glaze before it sets.
