Sweet and salty with just a hint of smoky chipotle. These cinnamon sugar coated Keto Crunchy Candied Nuts require little effort yet yield flavor perfection.
This recipe is so easy and quick with just 6 steps. My hubby is already addicted to these “crack” nuts. I mean, seriously, how can you go wrong with 3 of the more keto friendly nuts, sweet, salty, and a teenie bit of spice?
1. In small bowl, mix Swerves, cinnamon, chipotle, and salt together.
2. Whisk melted butter, egg white, vanilla, and 1 Tbsp water until frothy.
3. Toss nuts in egg white mixture.
4. Add dry ingredients on top and stir until evenly coated.
5. Spread coated pecans in a single layer onto lined baking sheet.
6. Bake!
BAM! You’re done. Easy enough, right?
HINT: After nuts cool, I break them apart and flip them over. Moisture tends to settle more underneath against the parchment paper and will take longer to dry out.
- 1/4 cup Swerve granular
- 1/2 cup Swerve Brown or another 1/2 cup Swerve granular
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp chipotle chili pepper
- 1/2 tsp sea salt

- 1 egg white
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup macadamia nuts dry roasted and lightly salted
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 cup walnuts
-
Preheat oven to 300F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Toss nuts in egg white mixture. Add dry ingredients on top and stir until evenly coated.
-
Spread coated pecans in a single layer onto lined baking sheet.
-
Bake in oven for about 30 minutes.

If you don’t want the spice, leave out the chipotle pepper. Or if you want the smoky flavor without the spice, try using smoked paprika instead of the chipotle pepper.
You may also substitute cayenne or ancho pepper for the chipotle pepper.
