How good are Macadamias?
Ever since starting Becomingness, they have featured in many of my recipes, including Blueberry & Macadamia Chia Pudding, Gluten Free Banana & Macadamia Bread, Caramel & Macadamia Chocolate Cups and Raw Caramel Macadamia Bliss Balls.
As you can see I am a total macadamia fan girl.
Macadamias are pretty much the only native Australian food with widespread popularity, and Australian Macadamias have also been really great supporter of Becomingness - so I am happy to do my bit to help promote them.
A couple of months ago, I had lunch at The Grounds of Alexandria, which I would strongly recommend, it has a lovely atmosphere - though the secret is well and truly out, and you may need stroll the gardens as you wait for a table on the weekend.
Luckily you can browse the stalls and visit the celebrity pet pig, Kevin Bacon (however, he is retiring soon, so you may miss him).
While I was browsing, I found a stall that sold sweet and savoury flavoured nuts.
They were totally amazing and one of my favourites was the cinnamon cashews. As I tend to do, I decided to recreate it, but using Macadamias.
So I am pleased to introduce my Cinnamon Macadamias!
My version is gluten, dairy and refined sugar free and I guarantee that they won't last long in your house.
