Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw peanuts
- 0.5 cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the erythritol, water, butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the mixture comes to a simmer and the sweetener dissolves completely.
Add the raw peanuts to the saucepan and stir to coat them evenly with the syrup-like mixture.
Continue to cook the peanuts over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the syrup thickens and begins to crystallize on the peanuts. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once the peanuts are well-coated and slightly glossy, spread them out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the peanuts are lightly toasted and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and allow the candied peanuts to cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will harden as they cool.
Once fully cooled, break apart any clusters and store the keto candied peanuts in an airtight container.
