Cinnamon Cashew Butter Recipes

CINNAMON SUGAR CANDIED CASHEWS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300F. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper. Don't skip lining your baking sheet; set aside.
• To a large bowl, add the egg white, water and whisk vigorously until very frothy, foamy, and bubbly, about 2 minutes by hand.
• Add the nuts and stir to coat.
• Add the sugars, cinnamon, salt, and optional cayenne, and stir to coat evenly.
• Turn nuts out onto to prepared baking sheet, spreading them in an even flat layer.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes (I baked 28 minutes); don't overbake or nuts can burn. Coating will appear bubbly, quite soupy and wet in the center of tray even when nuts are ready to be pulled from oven. It will seem like nuts should bake longer so the coating dries out more, but it firms up dramatically as nuts cool. As always, use your judgment and let your nose and eyes be your guide to doneness.
• Allow nuts to cool on baking tray for at least 30 minutes. Ideally, leave nuts on baking tray and exposed to air to cool overnight; this helps them get extra crispy and crunchy.
• When nuts are cool enough to handle, break apart large clusters.
• Transfer nuts to airtight containers or jars.

CASHEW BUTTER

Steps:

• Process cashews and salt in a food processor until desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes, scraping down sides as needed. Add coconut oil and process another 30 seconds. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator.

CINNAMON CASHEW FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line a 20 x 30cm cake tin with baking parchment. Melt the butter in a large non-stick pan, add the sugar, honey and cinnamon, and stir with a wooden spoon over a low heat for 5-10 mins until the sugar dissolves.
• Remove from the heat and stir in all the remaining ingredients until well coated in the buttery spice mixture. Tip into the tin and press down to an even layer. Bake for 30-35 mins until golden. Cool for 5 mins, then mark into squares - don't remove from the tin yet as they won't hold together until they are cold. Will keep in a sealed container for a couple of days.
