Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 scoops protein powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0 cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and water together until frothy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine brown sugar, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.
Step 4
Add the almonds to the egg white mixture, ensuring each nut is fully coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
Step 5
Pour the sugar and protein mixture over the almonds, and toss until they are fully coated.
Step 6
Spread the almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even baking and coating. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.
Step 8
Once the almonds are done, they should be golden and slightly crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
Step 9
Store the candied almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
