Cinnamon Spice Almonds
Description
The Cinnamon Spice Almonds recipe features raw almonds coated with a mixture of cinnamon, allspice, and maple syrup before being baked until crisp. This baking process allows the flavors to meld and creates a crunchy texture with a friendly blend of sweetness from the maple syrup and subtle warmth from the spices. The cinnamon and allspice bring a fragrant and slightly spicy note that complements the natural earthiness of almonds.
These almonds can be enjoyed on their own as a snack or used as a garnish to add texture and flavor to breakfast dishes like oatmeal and granola bars, or smoothie bowls. They can also be crushed and sprinkled on salads or incorporated into desserts such as cookies and ice cream, providing a flavorful contrast and crunch.
The recipe allows easy preparation using basic pantry ingredients and a simple baking method. Cooling the almonds thoroughly after baking helps the coating set and ensures the nuts remain crisp and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almonds raw
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Notes
- Allow almonds to cool completely after baking to achieve maximum crunchiness.

- Crushed almonds can add a crunchy texture to baked goods and fresh dishes alike.
