Nuts are a great source of heart-healthy fat, fiber, and protein. Eating a serving (about 1/4 cup) of nuts everyday, especially if you’re eating them in place of an animal-based food like meat or cheese, is a habit we could all stand to practice. Plus, nuts happen to be delicious!
Coconut Honey Roasted Almonds are my latest nut obsession. Here’s how to make them.

May 5, 2013 at 2:19 pmCanola, grapeseed, or melted coconut oil would be best because they are flavorless. Very valid question, thanks for asking!

April 24, 2014 at 6:21 pmI am curious what kind of honey you used.
I like to support the local apiaries so I seek out local honey. I happened to have wildflower honey which was nice, I also added coconut oil but I used it in it’s solid form at room temp. I used kosher salt too. I decided to mix in the coconut into the mix as opposed to after cooking, this toasted the coconut which I liked.
Next time I will experiment with maple syrup or buckwheat honey to see now that works.

December 1, 2014 at 11:23 amI bought some coconut almonds at a craft fair and they were delicious. They had a coating on them. I think it was powdered sugar. They were called coconut honey almonds. Would these be the same recipie as yours, other than the powdered sugar?

November 18, 2016 at 3:40 pmHi Carol, you put the coconut on after baking, so it won’t burn š
