1/2 cup coconut oil (melted) 2 eggs 2 tsp lemon juice 1 tsp almond extract 3/4 cup BTOF organic sliced almonds 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1 cup whole wheat flour 3/4 cup BTOF organic almond meal 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1 egg + 2 tbsp water for brushing *Substitute whole wheat flour with more almond meal to make this recipe gluten-free DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 325F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. 2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, eggs, lemon juice and almond extract. Once you have a nice creamy texture, mix in the sliced almonds and dried cranberries. 3. In a separate bowl mix together the whole wheat flour, almond meal, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. 4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir to fully combine. 5. Shape dough into 2 logs about 12 inches long- this gets a little messy but it's fun! Place the logs on the baking tray and flatten with your hands (use flour to prevent sticking). 7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown on top. 8. Remove from oven and using a serrated knife, cut logs into strips about 1/2 inch thick. Leave a little space between each strip. 10. Remove from oven and place biscotti cookies onto cooling rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, enjoy with a friend and a hot, black cup of coffee! Adapted from lifestylefood.com |
