We analyze the quantum antiferromagnet on the maple leaf lattice in the presence of a magnetic field. Starting from its exact dimer ground state and for a magnetic field strength of the order of the local dimer spin exchange coupling, we perform a strong coupling expansion and extract an effective hardcore boson model. The interplay of effective many-body interactions, suppressed single-particle dynamics, and correlated hopping gives way to an intriguing series of superfluid to insulator transitions which correspond to magnetization plateaux in terms of the maple leaf spin degrees of freedom. While we find plateaux at intermediate magnetization to be dominated by bosonic density wave order, we conjecture plateau formation from multi-boson bound states due to correlated hopping for lower magnetization.
