So, do as you please! Both variations of this keto candied nuts recipe are incredibly awesome, crunchy and delicious. Or even non-blind, as you can see, in the pictures the sugar-free candied nuts are all mixed up and even I can’t really tell the difference. I don’t think that anyone would be able to tell the difference on a blind tasting test. The color is slightly lighter, and they have a resemblance of a milky taste. The candied nuts coated in the mix that takes protein powder seemed a to get a better coverage, but by a very small margin. The difference: in the end, pretty much unnoticeable. I had to make half of the batch adding whey protein. You’d think that this simple keto cinnamon sugar mixed nuts would be different… but no! I couldn’t resist. Optional: Whey protein! – As you probably have noticed, I am all for sneaking protein into every recipe possible. You can leave it out if you prefer, or just use a brown or golden keto sweetener for a similar result. Organic blackstrap molasses adds a burnt sugar dimension that we can’t get from simple white erythritol, and it’s much cheaper than using brown keto sweetener. It is a natural sugar, but with only one fourth of a teaspoon for the whole recipe the macros are barely affected and the flavor boost is really amazing. Spices – A generous amount of cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, vanilla extract and, optional but highly recommended: organic blackstrap molasses. Xylitol might take a long while to crunch up after baking. For this recipe, as the crunchy is a major factor, it’s better to stick with erythritol. You can make your own, or buy keto baking sweeteners already blended, with either stevia or monk fruit. Pure erythritol has only 70% of sugar’s sweetness. I used my homemade erythritol stevia blend, which is as sweet as sugar. Wait for the powder to settle before opening the jar. If you just have granulated sweetener, it’s easy to powder it yourself: just add it to the (very dry!) jar of a blender and pulse it for a few seconds. You can use granulated sweetener, but the candied coating will not stick as well. Powdered keto sweetener – Powdered sweetener, like confectioners Swerve, is very important for uniform coating. If you miss sweet potatoes on keto go and check it out!Įgg white – an egg white beaten to stiff peaks is the base of the coating When boiled, peanuts are similar in taste and texture to sweet potatoes, it’s crazy. I added some I had left from my keto spiced boiled peanuts recipe. Why not?Īlthough not technically a nut, peanuts are a cheap and delicious option as well. For my keto candied nut mix recipe I added a little bit of every nut I had in the pantry: there’s walnuts, pecans, cashews, hazelnuts, almonds, macadamias and peanuts. Nuts – You can use any single nut or mix of nuts you prefer! It’s a great way to use up nut left-overs (if that’s even a thing). The keto pumpkin spice baby bundt cake you can see on the pictures throughout this post got some of these crushed keto candied nuts on top which took it to a whole new realm of sticky and crunchy deliciousness! The ingredients They are a great addition to recipes, as well. Who doesn’t want some guilt-free indulgence every now and then? The fact that these candied nuts are sugar-free is enough to get anyone excited, even if they are not on a keto or low-carb diet.
