I’ve been super into roasted almonds lately. I love the way they make the house smell and I love having crunchy healthy snacks around the house. I usually make cinnamon roasted almonds, but decided to add pumpkin spice and pumpkin puree to them and then this recipe was born.

These pumpkin spice almonds are addicting! Good thing they are naturally Paleo, gluten-free, grain-free, and dairy-free.

What makes this recipe great

  • You only need a handful of ingredients.
  • They taste delicious!
  • They are an easy healthy snack.
  • They are great for those following a Paleo, Dairy-free or Gluten-free diet.
  • They have a pleasant pumpkin and pumpkin spice seasoning, but it isn’t overpowering.

Recipe ingredients

  • almonds– make sure to use unflavored, unsalted almonds here.
  • maple syrup– make sure to use pure maple syrup.
  • pumpkin puree– this can be canned or homemade.
  • cinnamon– I like using Ceylon cinnamon because it has great flavor.
  • ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves– these add a nice pumpkin spice flavor to the almonds.

See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

Additions/ Substitutions

  • Instead of using ginger, nutmeg and cloves, you can use cinnamon and pumpkin spice instead. I would use 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to replace all the spices in this recipe.
  • Instead of maple syrup, you can use date syrup or honey.

Step by step instructions

Step 1: Bake the almonds for 5 minutes.

Step 2: Put the almonds into a bowl and cover in the the maple syrup, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix it all together.

Step 3: Bake the almonds again until roasted.

Expert tips

  • These are a great snack or recipe to bring to a party. Keep them in an airtight container and snack on them as much as you want.
  • These almonds would make a great gift. Put them into a mason jar, tie it up with a Fall ribbon and give it as a gift.

A simple roasted almond recipe made with pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice.

Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Cover a cookie sheet in parchment paper.
  • Evenly spread out 2 cups of almonds onto the cookie sheet and bake them for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the almonds from the oven, but keep the oven on. Pour the almonds into a larger bowl. Keep the parchment paper on the cookie sheet.
  • In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves, until well mixed. Pour the mixture on top of the almonds and mix until all of the almonds are coated in the pumpkin mixture.
  • Evenly spread out the almonds onto the lined cookie sheet again, make sure that they aren’t overcrowded. Bake for 10 minutes, then mix the almonds around on the cookie sheet. Bake for 5 more minutes, mix again. Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes, this lets everything harden a bit more.

Notes

  • Instead of using ginger, nutmeg and cloves, you can use cinnamon and pumpkin spice instead. I would use 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to replace all the spices in this recipe.
  • Instead of maple syrup, you can use date syrup or honey.

  1. I’m all about nuts for snacking and now I’m wondering why I’ve never tried this version, looks so good!5 stars

  2. We do roast our almond but I have never used pumpkin puree for that! Such a clever and super seasonal idea 🙂 Perfect for adding as a munch snack!

    Thanks for sharing

  3. I love almonds! I could easily see myself mindlessly eating these for hours…which probably wouldn’t be the best decision 🙂 I’m going to have to give these a try

  4. ooooh! I bet your house smells so good! I find almond irresistible — I could keep eating and eating them. I’ve never heard of adding pumpkin spice to almonds but I love the spice so I can’t imagine it not being out of this world. great inspiration.5 stars

  5. Does this recipe come in a perfume bottle or room fragrance. I don’t think I want the delicious smell to go away after I make this.

  6. This looks like the perfect snack food to me. Almonds are my favorite nut and we eat a lot of them in the household. I can’t wait to make these for my husband and me!
