Ingredients
- 1 Cup (100g) pecans
- 1/4 Cup (60ml) low-cal maple syrup - I use Walden Farms
- 1 1/2 Tbsp (18g) sugar substitute
- 1/2 Tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Coat pecans evenly in the pancake syrup
- Add nuts to a pan coated with non-stick baking spray
- Cook on a medium heat setting until the pancake syrup caramelizes on the nuts
- Transfer the nuts onto parchment paper and coat with 1 Tbsp (12g) sugar substitute and 1/4 tsp cinnamon - I like to mix the two together before adding
- Add the nuts back to the pan and cook until sugar just begins to caramelize
- Top the pecans with the remaining sugar and give them one last stir
- Now bring the nuts back to the parchment paper and allow them to cool and dry
- The longer they dry the crunchier they become
- Store in an airtight jar
