Cranberry Chocolate Biscotti
My friend Aimee was here the other day and I gave her one of these biscotti fresh out of the oven. She is not on a gluten-free diet, so I was concerned she might not be as enthusiastic about them as my family is.
I asked her how the biscotti tasted and she replied, “this is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten!” She’s more of the quiet and understated type, so her feedback meant a lot to me.
Biscotti
½ cup agave nectar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups blanched almond flour
¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup dagoba chocodrops
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup pecans, coarsely chopped
½ cup agave nectar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups blanched almond flour
¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup dagoba chocodrops
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup pecans, coarsely chopped
- In a large bowl combine agave, eggs and vanilla and blend with a hand mixer until fluffy, about 5 minutes
- In a separate bowl, stir together almond flour, salt and baking soda
- Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until combined then fold in chocodrops, cranberries and chopped pecans
- Transfer dough to a parchment lined baking sheet and form a log about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide
- Bake at 325° for 30 minutes
- Remove from oven and cool for 20 minutes
- Transfer log to a cutting board and cut into ½ inch slices on the diagonal
- Place the biscotti, cut side down, on the parchment lined baking sheet
- Bake at 325° for 15 minutes, turn slices over and bake for another 15 minutes or until golden brown
- Remove from oven, let cool until crunchy, about 20 minutes, and serve

I get asked this type of question a lot. I set up a frequently asked questions page which addresses substitutions in my recipes. Please see the faq for this particular question.
