Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw peanuts
- 0.5 cup Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Stevia extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, combine erythritol, stevia extract, cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, and water. Stir until erythritol is dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer.
Add the raw peanuts to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the sweetener mixture.
Continue cooking the peanuts over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 to 7 minutes until the liquid is mostly evaporated and the peanuts are glazed.
Spread the peanuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the peanuts are nicely toasted and the coating is slightly hardened.
Remove from the oven and allow the peanuts to cool on the baking sheet. The coating will continue to harden as they cool.
Once fully cooled, store in an airtight container. Enjoy your sugar-free candied peanuts as a delightful snack or gift!
