Cinnamon Biscotti
So, today I stopped by my friend Elisabeth's house for a cup of coffee while Dusty was in class. It was so nice to just sit back and chit chat! Now, had I half thought about it, I would made biscotti for us to enjoy with our coffee. But, just because I forgot our biscotti does not mean you should not get to enjoy it! I found a great recipe online for a Double Chocolate Biscotti, tweaked it a little bit, and am going to share it with you now.
Double Chocolate Biscotti
Approximately 1 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c raw sugar
1/4 c dark cocoa powder
1/4 c dark chocolate chips
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 salt
Combine these ingredients in a medium bowl.
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 large organic egg (or an egg substitute equivalent to one large egg)
1 large organic egg white
Whisk these ingredients together in a large bowl, and add you flour mixture to it.
Make sure that your dough is not too wet, divide it in half, and place on a greased baking sheet. Form the dough into 2 separate flat loaves.
Bake at 350 degrees for 22 minutes.
Cool for 10 minutes and then cut into slices.
Bake the slices for an additional 15 minutes to help them firm up.
And that's it, serve and enjoy!
Of course, if you make this Double Chocolate Biscotti, be sure to use a dark chocolate, it's healthier for you! WebMD states that it's a great antioxidant and can help lower your blood pressure. But, chocolate lovers, that does not mean you can indulge in dark chocolate and get away with it. Moderation is the key for all foods.
Now, personally, I am not a fan of chocolate. As you can see in the picture above, I adapted this recipe and made a Cinnamon Biscotti.
I simply replaced the cocoa and chocolate chips with cinnamon. Also, I used an Agave Nectar in place of raw sugar (just measure to taste, but be sure that it does not make your dough too wet!).
Replace the chocolate in this recipe for your favorite ingredients like cinnamon, blueberries, almonds, etc. , and enjoy with your next cup of coffee!
Always remember, you can have fun, eat great, and stay healthy all at the same time! :)
