TIPS
Check out these useful tips for making Spiced Almond Walnut Mix With Warm Cinnamon:
- Customise Texture: Lightly crush the nuts for a different texture, making them easier to sprinkle over yoghurt or porridge.
- Even Coating: Stir the cinnamon through thoroughly for an even flavour.
- Portion Control: Divide into small containers for easy grab-and-go snacks.
- Freshness: Toast the nuts in a dry pan for 1 to 2 minutes if you prefer a deeper roasted flavour, but note this will add a step and remove the raw classification.
- Spice Up: Add a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick if desired.
VARIATIONS
- Nut Swap: Use pecans or cashews instead of walnuts for a different taste profile.
- Sweet Touch: Add a sprinkle of coconut sugar for a subtle sweetness.
