Pumpkin Spice Almonds

Good Morning Friends!

 

Last night on Facebook one of my good friends posted this recipe for roasted almonds. I love all things pumpkin and fall so I HAD to try them out!

 

Pumpkin Spice Almonds

3 Cups raw almonds

2 Tablespoons cinnamon

2 Tablespoons pumpkin pie spice

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

2 Tablespoons brown sugar

3 Tablespoons agave nectar

1 teaspoon vanilla

 

If you're clueless like me, you've never heard of agave nectar. I found it in the baking aisle right next to the corn syrup. I'd also never heard of Pumpkin Pie Spice, but that was with the rest of the spices (duh Jordan).

 

Preheat oven to 325*, combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix well

 

Spread onto a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Thats it! SO EASY, and SO good!

 

The one direction I didn't follow was lining the pan with parchment paper and if I could do it again, I'd spend the extra money and buy some. I've been soaking my cookie sheet since last night and I'm still dreading cleaning it. I also tasted one of these right out of the oven and I wasn't that impressed..but after they cooled I swear they tasted 100 times better!

 

AND even if you don't like almonds, I would make these just for the smell! Ya know that roasted almond stand in the mall that ALWAYS smells like heaven? Yeah, thats what these make your whole house/apartment smell like. My roommate couldn't believe how good our apartment smelled when she got home from work!

 

Kenal's sister has gotten me hooked on the Instagram trend where every day is a different theme. So, I'll leave you with a lovely Transformation Tuesday :)
