Maple Desserts

If you've ever had one of those Vermont maple leaf candies, you know just how distinct this sweet and sugary flavor can be. While that is a much more concentrated version of maple than you likely prefer to enjoy, you can't deny the appeal of the warm and comforting quality of maple.

This collection of easy maple desserts will indulge your inner sweet tooth while reminding you of shuffling up to the breakfast table in your footie pajamas to eat a freshly-baked plate of fluffy pancakes.

These desserts are perfect for Thanksgiving, the autumn season, or for any season! There's certainly no reason to wait until leaves start to fall to whip up one of these tasty recipes with maple syrup.

If you're trying to use up maple syrup in a dessert (or sub sugar for maple syrup), you might wonder about flavors that go with maple. Some of our favorite flavors to pair with maple are: apple, cinnamon, vanilla, walnut, pear, oats, pecans, and pumpkin. Bacon also makes a great flavor pairing with maple if you are in the mood for something sweet and salty!
