Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter (56 grams)
1 large egg white
1/2 cup coconut sugar (96 grams)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups raw nuts of choice (I used a mix of pecans, cashews, almonds, and brazil nuts)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt butter. Add butter to a small saucepan and melt.
Mix together nuts. In a large bowl, add egg white, coconut sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt and mix well to combine. Add your nuts and stir until nuts are fully coated by the sugar mixture. Add butter and stir to combine again.
Bake. Spread nuts out on the baking sheet in a single layer, spreading out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 8-10 minutes. Stir one last time when they are done.
Let cool. Remove nuts from the baking sheet (I put them on another piece of parchment paper), spread them out, and break up any large clumps. Let cool completely.
Enjoy! Nuts will keep for 2-3 weeks in a tightly sealed container at room temperature.

Notes

Any kind of nuts work. You can use a mix of some nuts or all of one kind. I do suggest using some pecans as the cinnamon sugar gets inside their rivets, and is SO GOOD.
