Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole almonds
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Granular sugar substitute (such as erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the whole almonds on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then roughly chop the nuts.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, almond extract, and vanilla extract together using a mixer until well combined.
Gradually add the granular sugar substitute to the egg mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
Slowly mix in the dry ingredients, a little at a time, until the dough starts to come together.
Stir in the chopped almonds with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide the dough into two equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, shape each portion into a log approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even baking, until the biscotti are crisp and golden.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
