🎃😋This recipe is for all the pumpkin spice fans out there!

These walnuts make a great topping for yogurt, sprinkled over a smoothie bowl, or as a quick snack with a piece of fruit.

💡Note: you can swap the coconut oil for grass-fed butter or 1 egg white as the “glue” that makes the mixture stick to the nuts.

Pumpkin-Spiced Walnuts
(makes about 16 servings)

​​1 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 Tbsp water
1 tbsp coconut sugar
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp (to taste) pumpkin pie spice
¼ tsp (to taste) cinnamon
Pinch of cayenne pepper
2 cups (450 grams) raw (unroasted) walnut halves

Preheat your oven to 275ºF/135ºC. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except the Walnuts. Add in the walnuts and stir to coat evenly.

Spread in a single layer on the prepared pan. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Rotate the pan and cook for another 20-30 minutes. The nuts are done when they are dry to the touch and a little crispy.

💫Let them finish cooling on the pan before removing. These nuts will keep in a covered container for about a week at room temperature (if they last that long!)
