Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 3 cups mixed nuts
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar, optional
Instructions
- Set oven to 300 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a small but deep dish, whisk together egg white and vanilla extract until frothy.
- Combine the maple syrup, cinnamon, and allspice in another small dish.
- Pour the mixed nuts into a large mixing bowl and then pour the egg white mixture over the top. Stir thoroughly until the mixed nuts are evenly coated. Then stir in the maple syrup mixture, again until the mixed nuts are evenly coated. Pour the mixed nuts onto the baking sheet and spread them out so one layer is formed. If desired, sprinkle coconut sugar over the top of the mixed nuts. Then bake for about 25-35 minutes in the oven, rotating once during baking.
- Remove from oven, let cool, and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Notes
The baking time will determine the consistency of the mixed nuts. If you want a softer, sweeter final product, then err on the side of 25-30 minutes. For a crispy, roasted final product, err on the side of 30-35 minutes.
