Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Whole almonds
- 3 large Egg whites
- 120 grams Erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the almonds on a separate baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until they are lightly colored and fragrant. Allow them to cool slightly.
Once the almonds are cool, chop them coarsely and set aside.
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer or stand mixer at medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the erythritol sweetener to the egg whites while continuing to beat them until you achieve stiff peaks.
Gently fold in the chopped almonds, vanilla extract, and salt into the egg white mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the meringue.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each mound for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the cookies are firm and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, store the biscotti in an airtight container. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite sugar-free beverage!
