Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 0.333 cup powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the powdered erythritol, cinnamon, salt, coconut oil, water, and vanilla extract. Place over medium heat.
Stir the mixture continuously as the coconut oil melts and the erythritol dissolves. Let it come to a gentle simmer.
Add the raw cashews to the saucepan and stir them well to coat with the syrupy mixture.
Once the cashews are evenly coated, transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time to ensure even caramelization.
Keep an eye on the cashews during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cashews cool completely on the tray. They will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, break any clusters apart and serve, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
