Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups of raw almonds
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon of allspice
- 1 Tablespoon of maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place almonds in a medium bowl. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the cinnamon, allspice, and maple syrup and pour into the almonds. Mix well.
- Evenly spread the almonds on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Let cool completely before eating.
Notes
- Spread out the almonds: Make sure to place the nuts in a single layer evenly spread on the baking pan. If you are making a double batch, use a second pan or bake in batches.
- Adjust baking time, as needed: Take note that baking time will depend on what type of oven you are using. So start checking on the baked cinnamon almonds at the 12-minute mark to see if they are good to go.
- Add flavor: You can add vanilla extract to the mixture for more flavor and fragrance.
- Add salt: If you want to add pops of saltiness to your baked cinnamon almonds, sprinkle some sea salt after baking while the candy coating is still moist.
- Let them cool: The nuts will still be sticky after roasting them in the oven, so make sure to let them cool down and harden on the baking pan before moving them to a container or jar.
