Sometimes you find a snack or sweet treat that you simply cannot live without. That means you have to maintain self-control so that you don’t eat the entire package.  I’m that way with BBQ potato chips and these cinnamon sugar pecans.  Both snacks rarely come into the house for those reasons.  

However, I do make an exception when it comes to these sweet glazed pecans.  They are so easy to make that I will bake a few batches up during the holidays to give as gifts.  I most definitely do sample a few. 

A few of my #OurFamilyTable bloggers and I are sharing some delicious recipes that you can give as gifts for the holidays or any special occasion.  Homemade food gifts are the best, I think, because it’s made with love for someone you care about.  Be sure to check out the recipes at the end of this post! They are so good!

How to Make These Homemade Cinnamon Sugar Pecans

This is a pretty simple recipe with only 5 simple ingredients.  When pecans are in season I tend to buy extra and freeze them so I can make this recipe anytime I need to. 

Preheat your oven to 225 degrees F. Line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper – keeps the pecans from sticking as they bake and makes for easy cleanup. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk two egg whites until they are frothy.  This takes only a couple of minutes.

Add 1 cup of white granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 2 heaping teaspoons of cinnamon to the bowl and whisk well.  Some recipes call for half that amount of cinnamon, but I find that the sweetness comes out more with the 2 teaspoons.

Add in the 2 pounds of pecan halves (unsalted) and toss well so that pecans are coated with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Spread coated pecans out onto prepared baking sheets in a single layer.  Bake in oven for 1 hours – stirring the pecans every 15 minutes, so they don’t stick and so they will bake on both sides.

Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on baking sheets before storing in an airtight container or packaging up in gift containers.

    My father-in-law used to make these for everyone. He’d go and get the pecans from a farm in Brunswick, MO (Pecan Capital of the World!) shell them and make this sugared pecans. So miss this!
