Cinnamon Roasted Almonds – Sugar Free!
These sugar free cinnamon roasted almonds are a guilt-free, protein packed snack. You’ll love them!
Cinnamon roasted almonds. You all know them. You know the intoxicating smell that completely overtakes you at fairs, craft shows, football games, malls….where ever the dang things are sold. All you need is 7 bucks for a tiny little cone. I could argue that it’s worth every penny, especially when they are still hot and fresh.
That’s all well and good but they are definitely a special treat. Encrusted in sugar, they are a caloric splurge — a splurge well worth it, but a splurge nonetheless. I took that same great cinnamon flavor but showed the sugar to the door. Or the pantry. Certainly not the door — let’s not get too crazy here. These almonds have that phenomenal warm cinnamon essence and make your house smell amazing. But they keep almonds as they naturally are – a healthy and filling snack that you can feel great about. Perfect for that 3:00 lull when you want to crawl back into bed.
The best part of these Cinnamon Roasted Almonds:
The best part of these cinnamon roasted almonds? They’re super easy to make. Toss the raw almonds with an whisked egg white, add the cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg to make things interesting (and because I love nutmeg). Roast them for awhile in the oven and enjoy! I mentioned it already, but I love snacking at these around 3pm when I’m completely hitting the way. They give me the energy to make dinner and survive the evening whining from the toddlers.
Just kidding, my kids don’t whine.
Ha.

Hi, I'm Rachel! This site features a wide variety of recipes with one common thread: easy preparations. I love creating accessible and delicious food that will please the whole family. Hope you enjoy! (
The recipe calls for 2 cups in the ingredient list but the yield says 3 cups. I assuming that the recipe should use 3 cups which is close to 16 ounces?
Sorry yes – that is correct, 16oz is close to 3 cups. Thanks!
Could you make these with olive oil rather than an egg?
I haven’t tested them that way, but it should work. 1-2 tablespoons should be good. Let me know how they turn out!
Easy to make and made my kitchen smell delicious! I️ added 2 packets of Splenda just to add a little sweetness.
So glad you liked these! Thanks for taking the time to come back and leave a comment!
Hi,
Thank you for this. So, baking in over at the same temperature? i.e. 250 degree?
Thanks
That is correct. Thanks!
How long will these keep and how should they be stored?
They’ll keep at least a week or two in an airtight container at room temp. If you want them to last longer, store them in the fridge.
