Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Banana
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Oat flour
- 0.5 cup Brown rice flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract, then mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine the oat flour, brown rice flour, ground cinnamon, and baking powder. Stir to evenly incorporate the dry ingredients.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a clean surface and gently knead it a few times to ensure it is evenly mixed. Flatten and shape the dough into a log approximately 8 inches long and 3 inches wide.
Place the dough log onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dough is firm but not overly browned.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the dough to cool for 5–10 minutes (enough to handle but still warm). Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the log into 1/2-inch thick biscotti pieces.
Arrange the biscotti slices cut side down on the baking sheet. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes, flipping the biscotti halfway through, until they are crisp and golden.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and allow them to cool completely. They will harden further as they cool.
Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
