Let’s talk about the ingredients in these cinnamon vanilla keto candied nuts!

This recipe calls for a combination of keto brown and granulated sugar. I used the Swerve brand for both sugars. These sugars contain zero net carbs and zero calories. They’re also delicious! Cinnamon and salt add just the right amount of spice for these nuts. One egg white is all that’s needed to coat these nuts which allows the sugar mixture to stick to them. A whole tablespoon of vanilla gives these nuts incredible flavor! You can use the combination of pecans and walnuts that I used, or you can use all pecans or all walnuts if you’d prefer! Almonds would be another nut option for this recipe.

Are these nuts difficult to make?

These nuts are incredibly easy to make! But they are so delicious your family and friends will never guess it! You simply add your brown and granulated sugars together with the cinnamon and salt. Set this mixture aside. In a separate medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat your egg white and vanilla until the mixture is frothy. Add your nuts to the egg white mixture and use a spoon or spatula to stir until your nuts are all coated with the mixture. Then add the sugar mixture and again stir until all nuts are coated with the sugar mixture. Spread out nuts in a single layer onto a large baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. You can also use a large baking pan. Bake your nuts at 250 degrees for 1 hour, stirring about every 15 minutes. There you have it. It’s that easy!

Do you have any tips for making these nuts?

While this is an easy recipe, there are a few things you can do to make sure your nuts come out perfectly every time! First, you’ll want to line your baking sheet with parchment paper. This will ensure your nuts won’t stick to the pan. Next, use a baking sheet large enough to be able to place your nuts on it without having them overlap. Make sure your nuts are completely coated with the egg white mixture before adding the sugar mixture. This will ensure the sugar mixture will easily coat all the nuts. Stir your nuts every 15 minutes or so while they are baking. Last, when you remove your nuts from the baking sheet or baking pan, you may need to break them apart if they stick together.
