IHOP Butter Pecan Syrup Recipe

I love how it transforms plain pancakes into something special with just a few drizzles!
The key to getting that ideal thickness is simmering the syrup just enough; too long and it becomes overly sticky.
One great thing about this syrup is how it balances sweetness and depth, making breakfast feel like a treat every day!

Servings 4 people
Ingredients
  
  • 1 cup Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 cup Pecans chopped
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
 
  • Toast the pecans in a saucepan over medium heat until they become fragrant, stirring frequently.
  • This step usually takes about 5 minutes.
  • Add the butter to the saucepan with the toasted pecans and let it melt completely.
  • Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Once the butter has melted, add the brown sugar and continue to stir until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Pour in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the mixture.
  • Stir everything together well until blended.
  • Simmer the mixture on low heat for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • The syrup will thicken slightly upon cooling.
