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.

  Is ‘backing mix’ the same as a Bisquick/instance packaged biscuit mix ?

    Yes, any baking mix like Bisquick will work in this recipe. I have not tried Instance before.

    Maple syrup has just about the same glycemic response as white sugar as will any other sweetener that isn't artificial. Maple is a sugar alternative but it is still a sweetener. I did not say that this recipe was diabetic-friendly.
