Sweet and Savoury nuts... nomnom

Sugar, Spice & All Things Nice!

Sugar… errr yes actually! Well, in one of the recipes (yes, I am sharing two today)! But it’s coconut sugar so none of that refined white stuff! 😛

Spice… because spice is so delicious and whether savoury or sweet it livens up everything! even brussel sprouts! 😛

All things nice… of course! It wouldn’t be on Life Diet Health if it wasn’t 😛 Seriously though these are sooo nice! I had to put them away to stop me munching!

So, today we are cooking nuts! I’ve used almonds and hazelnuts but you could use pecans, cashews or even peanuts!

If you’re not vegan, you could sub the aquafaba for an egg white as this will give a similar result. I’m sharing this with Debbie at the Special Holiday Edition of the Healthy, Happy, Green & Natural Blog hop! Yumyum, lets get cooking! 🙂
