Keto Cinnamon Candied Nuts

Keto Cinnamon Candied Nuts are made by coating a mixture of nuts in a spiced, egg white-based glaze sweetened with powdered sweetener and flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and optional blackstrap molasses. The nuts are baked at a moderate temperature for an hour with periodic stirring to evenly toast and candy the nuts, resulting in a crunchy, flavorful snack suitable for keto diets.
