Cinnamon Cocoa Almonds

There are a lot of great flavored almonds on the market today, but they can get expensive after awhile. Why not make your own at a fraction of the price? This recipe combines two of my favorite flavors into one!

Makes eight ¼ cup servings

• 2 cups almonds
• 1 Tbl cinnamon
• 1 Tbl coconut oil
• 2 Tbl sweetener*
• 1 Tbl cocoa powder

Preheat oven to 325 degrees (F). Warm the coconut oil until liquid if necessary. Add all
ingredients to a medium sized bowl and toss to coat thoroughly. Spread the almonds onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Roast for 10 minutes then remove the pan and stir/flip the
almonds. Roast for another 10 minutes, remove and cool. If you like a stronger cocoa or
cinnamon flavor, you can toss the roasted nuts in a final optional coating of cinnamon and/or cocoa powder.
