Recipe Ingredients

Ingredients for cinnamon almonds on a table.
  • Almonds: You’ll need at least 2 pounds of unsalted whole almonds (roasted almonds). Roasted almonds are going to have a better crunch than raw almonds.
  • Egg Whites: These are mixed to create a mixture that helps everything stick during the cooking process.
  • Vanilla Extract: Add a slight vanilla flavor to the almonds.
  • Sugar: Light brown sugar and white sugar are both used in this recipe for sweetness and texture. Brown sugar is basically the same as white sugar but with molasses.
  • Seasonings: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step-by-Step Directions

Step Three – Add almonds to a large bowl and pour over the egg whites and vanilla mixture.

Step Four – Stir until the almonds are coated.

Step Five – Cover and cook on LOW for 2.5 hours, stirring every 20-30 minutes.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use different nuts?

Yes. Pecans and cashews can be used as a substitution for this recipe.

What other spices can I use?

Think rustic flavors that are in the cinnamon and nutmeg family, such as allspice, clove, and pumpkin spice.

How do I store these cinnamon roasted almonds?

You can store them in an airtight container once they have cooled down. In addition, they can be stored in a Ziploc bag.

Can I cook these in the oven?

Of course. You’ll want to spread the almonds onto a prepared baking sheet and cook them in a preheated oven, tossing them every 20-25 minutes.
