I love all of those flavored almonds that are currently being sold. My favorite so far are Blue Diamond Wasabi & Soy Sauce flavored almonds. They have several dessert flavored ones including chocolate. The down side to these flavored almonds is they are higher in carbs than the plain ones.
You can create your own lower in carb version of flavored almonds at home. By using egg whites and whipping them until they are frothy it allows the almonds to be coated with various flavors. In the case of store bought almonds they use sugar and starch to get the flavoring to stick to the almond. Try these two recipes for a tasty treat without all the extra carbs!
LOW CARB CINNAMON ALMONDS
A serving size is about 1 ounce of almonds which is approximately 23 nuts. While almonds are lower in carbs than other types of nuts they still do contain carbs. Each serving has about 2.5 to 3 net grams of carbs depending upon the type of sweetener used.
Make sure to whisk the egg whites until they are frothy. This will be the coating that helps the flavor stick to the almonds.
Mix the sweetener, cinnamon, salt and vanilla (or maple) extract into the frothy egg whites. Then add the almonds and stir until just coated.
Once coated place the almonds on a greased cookie sheet and spread until they are in a single layer.
Bake until the coating is dry and crisp. Allow the almonds to cool before eating.
Serve these delicious nuts at the holidays or family gatherings. No one will care that they are low carb.
The recipe calls for a 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. If you really like cinnamon this could easily be doubled up to a teaspoon. To create maple cinnamon almonds replace the vanilla extract with maple extract. Using a sweetener such as Swerve will make a most crispier coating.
