Maple Pecan cubes

Sweet, nutty, and ready in 10 minutes

These maple pecan cubes bring cozy autumn flavor to your coffee, oat milk, or dessert drinks. The maple syrup adds natural sweetness, the pecans bring nutty richness.

What you need

• 1/2 cup pecans
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 cup milk or oat milk
• Optional: a pinch of cinnamon

How to make it

1. Toast the pecans lightly in a dry pan for 3-4 minutes
2. Let them cool
3. Blend pecans, maple syrup, and milk until smooth
4. Add cinnamon if using
5. Pour into ice cube trays
6. Freeze for at least 4 hours

Why this works

No complicated steps, pure autumn comfort. The maple and pecan combination is quintessentially North American. Drop a cube into hot coffee for instant maple pecan latte, or add to oatmeal for extra flavor.

Practical tip: Use pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup, for authentic flavor. Toasting the pecans brings out their natural oils and flavor. These cubes are perfect for fall mornings and cozy evenings.
