Maple Syrup Nut Bread Recipe
Maple quick bread is a simple quick bread that uses chopped nuts and real Vermont maple syrup. We enjoy it for breakfast with coffee or as a dessert.
Why should you use pure maple syrup when baking
When you use real maple syrup in baking, it adds a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor that can’t be replicated with any other type of sweetener. It also helps to moisten and bind ingredients together, making it the perfect ingredient for quick bread.
Where to find real maple syrup
You can find real maple syrup at most grocery stores, but we recommend buying it directly from a local Vermont sugar maker. There are many sugar makers in Vermont that offer tours and tastings.

I love maple, so this bread sounds delicious! It would be perfect hot out of the oven with a smear of maple butter.
It definitely was, Jennifer!
Whe you say “baking mix”… what do you mean? I am referring to your Maple Nut Bread recipe.
Thank you.

I used the store brand baking mix but you could probably do the same with anything like a Bisquick.
Thank you! I will try it.

I love nut bread and maple flavor. When I was growing up my dad would take me down to the donut shop on Saturdays and I would get a Maple Persian with Walnuts. I make a Banana Nut Bread and substitute Greek Yogurt for the sugar and I comes out pretty good.
Found you through the blog hop. I’m the (trying to stay sane) Mom of teenagers, from Boton but living in the Midwest. Will LOVE your Maple Nut bread, thanks for sharing. Heading over to “like” you on FB.
That looks good. I’ll have to try it.
I am drooling!! I can already smell this (in my mind) It loks as though I will have to splurge and buy some real Vermont Maple Syrup!!
