Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 slices whole wheat bread
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Stevia or preferred sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the whole wheat bread into 1-inch thick strips if they are not already in the desired size for biscocho.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Stevia or preferred sugar substitute, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir together until well mixed.
Add the melted butter to the mixed dry ingredients and stir until you have a uniform paste.
Using a pastry brush, evenly spread the butter and cinnamon mixture onto each slice of bread, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
Place the coated slices onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the bread slices are golden brown and crisp, flipping them once halfway through baking.
Once baked, remove the biscocho from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
