Nut and Seed Biscotti

 

Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of almond flour
  • 3/4 cup of erythritol (sugar substitute)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup of butter, ghee or coconut oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla (sugar-free)
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum, psyllium husk powder or chia seeds for binding.
  • 1 cup of seeds and nuts broke up into small pieces for easier slicing. I used pecans, almonds, macadamia nuts, pumpkin and sunflower seeds
  • Lily's sugar-free chocolate (optional)


Instructions 

Preheat oven to to 350 °F (conventional). Mix dry ingredients: almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, xanthan gum, spices. Melt butter and add to beaten eggs. Mix in nuts and seeds until dough forms.

1. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Form the dough into a low, wide log shape. Bake for approx. 45 minutes or until loaf is browned. Remove from oven and let cool.
2. Once cold, slice the loaf into slices. Please note: using almond meal instead of wheat flour results in a crumblier consistency and can make this slicing tricky.
3. Preheat oven 325 (conventional). Lay the slices very carefully in a flat layer and bake for 5 minutes on each side.
4. Let the cookies completely cool down before dipping in chocolate. Keep refrigerated.
