Nut Health Benefits

Almonds, the star ingredient in Nutty Mandelstangen, are packed with nutrients that offer numerous health benefits. They are a rich source of healthy fats, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals. Regular consumption of almonds has been linked to improved heart health, lower cholesterol levels, and better blood sugar control.

Moreover, almonds are an excellent snack option for those looking to maintain a healthy diet. They provide a satisfying crunch while keeping hunger at bay, making them a perfect choice for mid-afternoon snacking. Incorporating these almond sticks into your diet can promote overall well-being without sacrificing flavor.

Tips for Perfect Almond Sticks

To ensure your Nutty Mandelstangen turn out perfectly, remember to measure your ingredients accurately. The right balance of almond flour and all-purpose flour is crucial for achieving the desired texture. If you prefer a more pronounced almond flavor, consider adding a bit more almond extract, but be cautious not to overpower the other flavors.

Another tip is to let the almond sticks cool completely on a wire rack after baking. This step is essential as it allows them to firm up, resulting in a better crunch. For added creativity, you can experiment with different toppings, such as drizzling melted dark chocolate over the cooled sticks or sprinkling a touch of sea salt for a sweet-salty combo.

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your delicious Nutty Mandelstangen Almond Sticks:

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients until well combined.

Shape the Sticks

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a stick shape, about 10 cm long. Place them on the baking sheet, leaving space between each stick.

Add Almonds and Bake

Press sliced almonds onto the top of each stick. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.

Once baked and cooled, your Nutty Mandelstangen Almond Sticks are ready to be enjoyed!

Storage Tips

To keep your Nutty Mandelstangen Almond Sticks fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will remain delicious for up to a week. If you prefer longer-lasting snacks, consider freezing them. Place the cooled almond sticks in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container, where they can last for up to three months.

When you’re ready to enjoy a frozen almond stick, simply thaw it at room temperature for about 30 minutes. You can also reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore their crunchiness, making them taste freshly baked!
