Nut Seed Brittle Recipes

KETO NUT AND SEED BRITTLE

Steps:

• Line a large (18 by 13-inch) rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Grease the mat or parchment and the head of a silicone spatula with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Set aside.
• Combine the remaining 7 tablespoons butter, sweetener, and vanilla in a medium, heavy-bottomed, stainless steel saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sweetener is fully dissolved, 6 to 8 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, just until the mixture reaches a deep brown/amber color then quickly remove the pan from the heat to avoid burning, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Use the buttered spatula to quickly mix in the nuts and seeds, then pour the mixture onto the prepared baking pan. Smooth out the nuts so they are evenly distributed, making sure the brittle mixture is touching all the nuts and seeds. Refrigerate to set, 1 hour.
• Break the brittle into pieces and serve.

Steps:

• Put the nuts, sugar, butter, corn syrup, and honey in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until it becomes a nice walnut color and thickens, about 10 to 12 minutes. Quickly pour onto a silpat or foil lined baking sheet and spread the brittle to an even thickness of about 1/3-inch with the back of the spoon.
• Cool for 3 or 4 minutes then score the brittle with a sharp knife into about 24 (2-inch) squares. Once the brittle has cooled completely, snap along scored marks.
