Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw walnut halves
- 0.5 cup granulated erythritol
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add granulated erythritol and vanilla extract to the melted butter. Stir until erythritol starts to dissolve, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in cinnamon and salt until well combined.
Place the raw walnut halves in a large mixing bowl. Pour the butter mixture over the walnuts and stir until the nuts are fully coated.
Spread the coated walnuts evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The walnuts will harden and become crunchy as they cool.
Once cooled, store the keto candied walnuts in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
