Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, stevia baking blend, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs with vanilla extract, almond extract, and melted butter until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Fold in the chopped almonds to ensure they are evenly distributed in the dough.
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet. Leave space between the logs as they will spread slightly.
Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes, or until they are cool enough to handle.
Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
Carefully transfer the logs to a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Arrange the slices on the baking sheet cut side down and bake them again for 10-15 minutes, until the biscotti are dry and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
