Ingredients
Scale
Walnuts
- 2 cups walnuts
Toffee Coating
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the coated walnuts.
- Melt Butter and Sweetener: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt together the butter and erythritol until they are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and salt into the melted butter and sweetener mixture, blending well to combine all flavors.
- Coat Walnuts: Add the walnuts to the saucepan and stir them thoroughly so they are evenly coated with the toffee mixture.
- Arrange Walnuts on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated walnuts out in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the walnuts for 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning and to allow even browning until they turn golden brown.
- Cool: Remove the walnuts from the oven and let them cool completely so the toffee coating hardens before serving or storing.
Notes
- Ensure stirring occasionally during baking to avoid burning the sugar-free toffee coating.
- Allow walnuts to cool fully as the coating will harden and crisp upon cooling.
- Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.
- Can be used as a snack or a topping for keto desserts and salads.
