I made this Vegan Almond Brittle for my family’s Sunday brunch last month. The almonds stayed buttery with a snap, and my sister liked it.
Simple to make at home, this recipe features natural ingredients that come together to create a satisfying snack or dessert option. With its buttery flavor and crisp golden snap, this vegan almond brittle will surely impress.
Crispy Vegan Almond Brittle
This almond brittle is prepared with sugar, almonds, and a few other pantry staples. It’s cooked until golden, then cooled to achieve a satisfying crunch. This recipe takes about 30 minutes and yields around 12 pieces of brittle.
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds, roughly chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cook the Sugar: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add Almonds: Stir in the chopped almonds and continue cooking until the mixture turns a deep amber color, about 10-15 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Incorporate Flavor: Remove the pan from heat and quickly stir in the vegan butter, vanilla extract, and baking soda. The mixture will bubble up.
- Spread the Mixture: Pour the almond mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and quickly spread it out into an even layer before it hardens.
- Cool and Break: Allow the brittle to cool completely at room temperature (about 15-20 minutes), then break it into pieces to serve.
