CHOCOLATE LOW-CARB BISCOTTI
Ingredients
1 large egg
¼ cup erythritol or 3 tablespoons sugar substitute (see note)
¼ teaspoon stevia concentrated powder or 2½ tablespoons sugar substitute (see note)
¼ cup of butter softened
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups almond flour
¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
½ cup unsweetened cocoa
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Make the dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, granular sweetener, stevia, egg, and vanilla until everything is well-blended.
In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients until well-combined.
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix again until everything is smooth and well-blended. If you’re adding any extra ingredients like nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in at this step
Shape dough and partially bake it
Place dough on a lined cookie sheet and shape into a low, flat log.
Bake the dough at 325°F for about 20 minutes.
Once the log is lightly browned and cake-like, remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 275°F.
Slice and finish baking
Allow the log to cool for about 10 minutes, then slice it into thin strips about ½ an inch wide.
Set the slices on their side on the cookie sheet, then bake again for about 20-30 minutes until they are fully crisped.
