Keto Candied Walnuts Recipe – How to make easy low carb & sugar free roasted walnuts with cinnamon – with the video.

Keto Candied Walnuts

These Keto Candied Walnuts make delicious sweet low-carb snacks, Festive treat or tasty topping for a salad.

Walnuts are one of the best keto nuts to include in your diet that are naturally low in g net carbs and high in g fiber, g protein and healthy fats.

The best part is that you can enjoy the easy keto snacks in a number of different ways, from snacking on them by the handful to using them as a topping for keto ice cream, smoothies or a healthy yogurt bowl. 

The Simple Ingredients For The Easy Recipe

To make the perfect snack, you’ll need the following handful of ingredients that are all naturally low in grams of net carbs:

Walnuts – you can use sliced, chopped or halved walnuts. (Or really any healthy nuts you like in this ketogenic diet friendly recipe.)

Egg White – only an egg white is needed and gently whisked until foamy to help all of the ingredients stick to the walnuts, without the need for honey, maple syrup or other sugar loaded ingredient usually used in candied nuts.

I like to save the egg yolk in a separate bowl and use it in an omelette or scrambled eggs, so nothing is wasted.

Stevia – use stevia or your low carb keto sweetener of choice, such as monk fruit sweetener, that you usually include in keto desserts, and as little or as much as you’d like depending on how sweet you’d like your recipe to be to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Vanilla Extract & Pinch of Salt –  each a great addition to balance the flavors in the sweet treat.

Cinnamon – use 1/2 to 1 teaspoon, depending on how much of a rich cinnamon flavor you want with your delicious snack.

Keto Candied Walnuts Recipe

• 1 Egg – white only
• 1-2 Tablespoons Stevia or Sugar Substitute
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• Salt
• 0.5 to 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 7 Ounces/200g Walnuts

1. Preheat the oven to 250F/120C, line a baking sheet with baking parchment paper and grease it well.
2. Separate the egg, moving the white to a large mixing bowl and saving the yolk to use in scrambled eggs, an omelette or another low carb diet friendly recipe.
3. Use a wire whisk to briefly whisk the egg white until frothy.
4. Add the stevia and whisk in to incorporate.
5. Add the vanilla, a pinch of salt and the cinnamon and whisk until fully combined.
6. Add the walnuts and stir through to fully coat the nuts in the sweet batter.
7. Move the nuts to the prepared baking tray, flattening them down so they are spaced out in a single layer.
8. Place into the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes baking time.
9. Remove from the oven, flip the nuts over and return to the oven for a further 15 minutes.
10. Remove the nuts from the oven, flip them and return to the oven for a final 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked to your liking.
11. Once perfectly roasted, remove from the oven, allow to cool completely to room temperature to further crisp up and then enjoy, storing leftovers in an airtight container to enjoy within a couple of days.
