These keto nuts have quickly become a favorite keto travel snack.

We make up a double or triple batch (depending on how long our trip is) a few days before we travel.

Then, we fill snack-sized baggies and toss a few in our carry on. The rest get packed in our checked luggage.

Ultimately, when traveling... cravings for a treat strike. Old habits die hard!!

We just reach for these crunchy candied nuts and enjoy our treat guilt-free.

And, you'll love them too.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cup pecans, raw
• 1 ½ cup almonds, raw
• 1 egg white
• ½ cup BochaSweet
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Use the convection setting on your oven if possible.
• Move your oven rack so it’s centered in the oven.
• In a small bowl, whisk together egg white, BochaSweet and cinnamon.
• Place nuts in a medium sized bowl and mix in the egg white mixture until nuts are thoroughly coated.
• Spread the nuts out on a medium sized baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes at 225 and stir.
• Bake an additional 10 minutes at 225 and stir.
• Reduce oven temp to 200 degrees and bake for two hours, stirring every 30 minutes.
• Nuts will still be sticky when done.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool and set overnight or for 6-10 hours until nuts become crunchy!

Notes

High humidity environments should reduce oven temp to 150 and bake an additional 2 hours. The way to test this is the first time you make them… take 2-3 nuts out at each 30 minute increment after the initial 2 ½ hours. You have to let them sit for at least 3 hours before being able to tell if they are going to crisp up. Sometimes this takes up to 24 hours depending on the humidity level. Don't be afraid to leave them out to crisp up. From what I can tell, this has a lot to do with not using actual sugar in the recipe.
