Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 scoops protein powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon water
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and water together until frothy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
In another bowl, combine brown sugar, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.
Add the almonds to the egg white mixture, ensuring each nut is fully coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
Pour the sugar and protein mixture over the almonds, and toss until they are fully coated.
Spread the almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even baking and coating. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.
Once the almonds are done, they should be golden and slightly crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
Store the candied almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
