Spiced Nut Mix

Spiced Nut Mix

Ingredients

1 egg white

2 tbsp no-sugar maple syrup (See recipe at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKDLK3ZW19A.)

2 cups pecans

½ cup whole raw almonds

½ cup walnut halves

½ cup sugar substitute (Keep in mind your taste and the type of sweetener. You may need more or less. Read label.)

1 tsp salt

3rd of a cup of coco powder

1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp cardamom or clove

½ tsp nutmeg

½ tsp cayenne pepper

Directions

In a large bowl, mix the egg white with a hand mixer until frothy but not stiff. Add maple syrup. (See our sugar-free syrup recipe.) Mix well.

Add the nuts and mix with wooden spoon until all nuts are well-covered.

In a smaller bowl, mix all spices until well-blended. Pour some of the spice mixture over the nuts and stir, gradually adding all the spice to the nuts. Mix until nuts are well-covered.

Pour nuts onto a parchment or silicone matte-lined baking sheet and spread out so nuts would not be clumped together. 

Bake at 325 for 20 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. This will ruin the whole batch. Let it cool and break apart any large clusters.  Store in a ziplock or airtight container! 

Enjoy!
