This makes me feel super bad for people who have nut allergies. Mixed in with a salad, on top of ice cream, or just straight up for snacking, my heart goes pitter patter for these sexed up nuts.
Cinnamon and Vanilla Walnuts
- 1 egg white
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/3 cup of rapadura, sucanat, maple sugar, or palm/coconut sugar
- 2 1/2 cups of walnuts
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees (the rack should be in the middle of the oven). And either lightly coat a cookie pan with coconut oil or butter or cover with parchment paper.
1)Lightly beat the egg white with a whisk (just until a bit foamy). Add the cinnamon, vanilla, salt and sugar. Stir in the walnuts, coat the walnuts well.
2) Remove the walnuts with a slotted spoon (allowing extra coating to drip out), and place on the cookie sheet. Spread out on the cookie sheet so that the nuts aren’t touching for the most part. Place in the oven for 25 minutes.
3) Remove from the oven and cool for 20 minutes. Serve or store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
