Add a photoServings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tsp Ener-G egg replacer
- 1 Tbsp. margarine from soybean oil melted
- 5 Tbsp. water
- 1/2 c. white sugar
- 3/4 c. flour white - unbleached
- 1/4 c. protein pwdr no egg or possibly dairy
- 1/3 c. whole wheat flour pastry
- 3 Tbsp. cocoa
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking pwdr
- 1/4 tsp salt scant
- 1/3 c. toasted almonds slivered
- 1/4 c. cool coffee or possibly water topping:
- 4 ounce chocolate chips dark (optional)
Directions
- Combine egg replacer, melted margarine water and sugar in Cuisinart. Blend till smooth. Add flours, cocoa, protein pwdr, baking pwdr, soda, salt and mix till just blended.
- Add almonds and "pulse" in Cuisinart till just mixed. Turn the dough out onto a flat surface, and shape (flouring hands as needed) into a log 14-16" long and about 2-3" wide.
- (note: shaved almonds look great, and you do not need more than one pulse, or possibly none-just roll them into the dough as you shape it.)
- Bake at 325 degrees for 20 min (use baking parchment or possibly spray a pan-release on the pan.) Cold on rack for 15 min.
- Slice at diagonal angle, into 12 pcs. Place back on cookie sheet and bake at 275 degrees for an additional 40 min, turning over at the 20 minute mark.
- When completely cold, heat the chocolate, and spread on the top of each biscotti. They are ready to eat when the chocolate is cold.
- These will last several weeks wrapped tightly and protected from moisture, but they usually do not last more than a few hrs in our household.
- Variations:Cranberry-gingerAdd 1/4 c. each dry cranberries and candied ginger. Omit the cocoa, increase the flour by 3 Tablespoons
- AniseAdd 1-2T anise seed, omit cocoa, increase flour by 3T.
- GingerbreadAdd 3/4 teasp. grnd ginger, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and healthy pinch of cloves. Reduce sugar to 1/3 c. +1T. and add in 2 Tablespoons molasses.
- Orange-WalnutUse 1/4 c. orange marmalade, reduce sugar to 1/3 c., replace almonds with minced, toasted walnuts.
- Chocolate ChipAdd dark chocolate chips instead of almonds, omit cocoa, increase flour by 3 Tablespoons
- Serving Ideas : Great with a fresh c. of coffee, and wonderful as gifts
- NOTES : [Gets 4 of 4 stars.]
- I've also been working on a vegan biscotti recipe which would get my personal 4 of 4 stars, and I think I hit on it today, so it's included too.
