Simply chop 1 1/2 cups (non-gmo, organic) macadamia nuts and mix in 1 teaspoon of organic cinnamon. Next. . .
Spread the nuts out on a foil lined baking pan, and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350°F. Be careful to not let the nuts burn.
Take the baking dish out of the oven, and drizzle a 1/4 cup of pure maple (organic) syrup over the the nuts. Stir. Bake this for about five more minutes. Cool on the sheet.completely before removing from the foil. Simply break it up with your hands.
These nuts are wonderful on oatmeal or yogurt. I just have to share. The original recipe is from a book I own, but it's also online. I just adapted it with organic ingredients.
I simply store it in a canning jar near the oatmeal. It's nutritional, yet slightly sweet. Kids, and adults, can easily pack a bit of this to eat with yogurt at school or work too.
Also, and my sister-in-law tells me that topping your oatmeal with chopped peanuts and my home canned Cinnamon-Blueberry Jam is delicious too.
Wow, sounds great! Sometimes when I make oatmeal, I cook it with some red quinoa, and before it's done I add mashed banana, chopped walnuts cinnamon, maple syrup or honey. I found the recipe online in 2008 or so and gave it a try. The quinoa add a nutty flavor and go well with the oatmeal
ReplyDeleteMary, your recipes sound wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful! I bet it makes your whole house smell amazing! It's not easy to find non GMO, organic macadamias, but I might be able to in our local co-op.
ReplyDeleteSusan, I don't always find them either, but I do read the labels for additional oils. I bought Kroger's Simple Truth, thinking the label was organic, but not so. Last ingredient was maltodextrin (I believe to be from a starch, usually corn). I found additional bad oils added to simply "mixed nuts" before too. I just try to find the healthier brands.
ReplyDeleteLove the flavor of those nuts and can get them at our co-op . . . but have to stop and get a small $$$ loan from the bank first! ;o) But all organic nuts are high right now.
ReplyDeleteWe put some of our frozen (defrosted, of course) blueberries on our servings of oatmeal. I like raspberries, too, but they require a little sweetener of some sort.
Mama Pea, I love macadamias too. Yum. You reminded me I have more blueberries in the freezer. Hopefully in a few years I'll have raspberries too. I want to harvest the leaves for tea too. I hope you didn't have to get too big of a loan today.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious friend! I think I may try something like this with seed as my little guy has a nut allergy...it would be awesome to have this on hand for breakfast! Stay warm!! Nicole xo
ReplyDeleteI love macadamia nuts too. I saw a special on them today at Market Basket and picked some up to make that topping for oatmeal. It sounds addictive, and I can't wait to try some on yogurt.
ReplyDeleteKristina, it's a good recipe, only wish I could take credit for it. I remember the recipe was on the blog of an actress, whose name I can't recall. I think she was in the movie the Big Chill. I remember stumbling across it when I was looking for ideas to get my kids eat oatmeal
Nicole, I hope the seed you use works well.
ReplyDeleteMary, I haven't checked the internet,but I'm sure the recipe is probably on there too. I originally found it in a book my Dad bought me many, many years ago.
