Easy roasted cinnamon almond recipe that teaches you how to make mall or fair-style toasted glazed cinnamon almonds at home in less than one hour. Makes a great homemade Christmas gift!

A lot of my holiday memories are tied to food. When I think about going to the mall to go Christmas shopping, I can’t help but think about the smell of candied cinnamon almonds.

These glazed cinnamon almonds are a copycat for the ones that I remember. Since they take less than 1 hour to make and you only need 7 pantry-staple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these almonds whenever the mood strikes.

And they make the house smell amazing while they bake! Plus, they make a great homemade Christmas gift or welcome addition to any cookie tray.

How to make cinnamon almonds

Almonds coated in beaten egg white mixture in a white mixing bowl

In a large bowl, mix the egg white until frothy. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Add the almonds, and toss to coat in the egg white mixture.

Add the sugars, salt, and cinnamon. Toss to combine.

Spread the nuts into an even layer in the prepared pan. Bake until the almonds are crisp.

Let cool to room temperature before serving.

  • Granulated sugar: I don’t make these almonds super sweet. If you want a sweeter almond with more of a glaze on it, feel free to increase the amount of sugar by 1-2 tablespoons.
  • Brown sugar: I use light brown sugar, but light or dark brown sugar will work. Also, if you want a sweeter almond, feel free to increase the amount of sugar by 1-2 tablespoons.
  • Cinnamon: If you like a strong cinnamon flavor or if you increase the amount of sugar, I recommend increasing the amount of cinnamon to 2 teaspoons.
  • Pan: If you don’t have a half sheet pan, a rimmed jelly roll pan (15x10x1) will also work.
  • Preparing the pan: If you don’t have silicone baking liners or parchment paper, you can use nonstick baking spray to grease your pan.
  • Each serving is approximately 1/4 cup.

Storage

The nuts can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

    Hello Kate
    Will this recipe work on any type of nut, especially Walnuts which are my husbands favorites. Whenever we go to the mall, he has to buy a bag.

    Thank you

      Same question. I’d love to try it with cashews.

    One batch was not enough! We had to make a triple recipe because the almonds go so fast!
