Ingredients

• 2 cups raw peanuts
• 0.5 cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the erythritol, water, butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the mixture comes to a simmer and the sweetener dissolves completely.

Step 3

Add the raw peanuts to the saucepan and stir to coat them evenly with the syrup-like mixture.

Step 4

Continue to cook the peanuts over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the syrup thickens and begins to crystallize on the peanuts. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Once the peanuts are well-coated and slightly glossy, spread them out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the peanuts are lightly toasted and fragrant.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow the candied peanuts to cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will harden as they cool.

Step 8

Once fully cooled, break apart any clusters and store the keto candied peanuts in an airtight container.
