How to Make Irresistible Healthier Vegan Baklava Cups

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease your muffin tins with coconut oil to ensure easy removal later.
Prepare the phyllo dough by unrolling it and covering it with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.
Layer five sheets of phyllo in each muffin cup, brushing each layer with melted coconut oil.
Mix chopped walnuts, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup in a bowl. After well combined, fill each phyllo cup with this mixture.
Top the filling with an additional layer of phyllo, brushing with coconut oil again.
Bake the cups for 25-30 minutes until they turn golden brown.
