I liked this recipe a lot! I changed one thing: I had some maple sugar–sugar and I used that along with monk fruit sugar to make these. Turned out fabulous!

I didn’t really care for these. They were not sweet enough and the cinnamon flavor was completely lost. The pecans were crispy but the almonds were not.
