Ingredients

• 2 cups raw walnut halves
• 0.5 cup granulated erythritol
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add granulated erythritol and vanilla extract to the melted butter. Stir until erythritol starts to dissolve, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the pan from heat and stir in cinnamon and salt until well combined.

Step 5

Place the raw walnut halves in a large mixing bowl. Pour the butter mixture over the walnuts and stir until the nuts are fully coated.

Step 6

Spread the coated walnuts evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The walnuts will harden and become crunchy as they cool.

Step 9

Once cooled, store the keto candied walnuts in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
