Ingredients

p class=""ingredient-item-name is-strikethrough-active"">250 g mixed nuts (almond, walnut, macadamia, cashew…)
200 g chopped nuts (hazelnuts, almonds)
2 Eggs
40 g Honey, e.g. B. MANUKA
1/2 Vanilla pod, pulp scraped out
1 EL Cocosöl
1 Prise Salt
Glaze:
100 g Dark chocolate
30 g Coconutöl

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 170° C fan oven.
Croughly chop the nuts and mix with the chopped hazelnuts. Mix the eggs with the honey, vanilla pulp, coconut oil and salt and stir in the nuts.
Line a baking tray with baking paper. Pour the nut mixture onto the baking tray, spread out to a thickness of approx. 2 cm and press down firmly.
Bake in the oven at 170° C for approx. 20 minutes until the nuts are lightly browned. Leave to cool and then cut into wedges. (As long as the mixture has not cooled, the dough will break when you cut it.)
For the icing, melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in a bain-marie. To keep the chocolate smooth, it should not be too hot.
Dip the nut corners into the chocolate icing at two corners, allow to drip off a little and leave to cool on a sheet of baking paper or a wire rack.

Note

Tip: If you like it really Christmassy, you can add some gingerbread spice to the nut mixture.

Artgerechte Food Facts

Nut corners: a Christmas baking classic with a species-appropriate twist. This crispy Christmas treat is a must during the Advent season!

Almonds have a high calorie density, but are very healthy. The carbohydrates in almonds and also in nuts are only released slowly during digestion. Almonds contain a lot of vegetable protein and are rich in polyunsaturated fats. They also have an antioxidant effect.

Eggs are a great source of protein and have a firm place in a balanced diet. They are also a good source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and contain numerous vitamins such as vitamins A, B, D and E. (Please note: animal products are only species-appropriate if the animal has also been kept and fed in a species-appropriate manner.)

Honey has been considered a natural remedy for thousands of years and is known for its effect against pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Manuka honey works best here – its high methylglyoxal content (MGO) makes it unique. In general, the darker the honey, the better, as the pinostrobin content is then higher.

Vanilla is the fermented and dried fruit capsule of the vanilla orchid. Strictly speaking, vanilla is part of the flower. Edible flowers can be used for cooking, look beautiful and summery and lift the mood. Vanilla can have a positive effect on cortisol sensitivity. It also has a mood-enhancing, aphrodisiac, invigorating, relaxing, muscle-strengthening, metabolic and digestive effect.
