Servings: 1 large batch
Calories: 2630kcal
Ingredients
- 1 egg white *see notes for vegan
- 400 g raw almonds
- 50 g raw sugar
- 30 g maple syrup
- 3 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- Pinch ground cloves
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 150°C. Line a tray with baking paper.
- Set butterfly in place on blades of mixer bowl. Add egg white. Beat 1.5 minute/speed 4/MC off.
- Add all remaining ingredients. Mix 10 seconds/speed 2/MC on. Scrape down bowl. Repeat.
- Transfer to the lined tray, arranging in a single layer. Bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven, give almonds a good stir then return to the oven for a further 10-15 minutes. Be careful to not overcook. Some of the coating may still be a little sticky but it will harden as it cools.

Notes
To make these vegan, simply replace the egg white with 50g aquafaba (that's the liquid in a tin of chickpeas).
