A Healthier Alternative: Crunchy Almond Biscotti
I love biscotti. I mean I really really love biscotti, especially with my afternoon coffee and I am extremely partial to almonds. The warm and nutty flavour of toasted almonds in this biscotti recipe and the flowery taste of anise what's not to love?
I made these last Christmas by the bucket load as soon as I made a batch, it was almost time for another this is by far the best recipe I have come across and I experimented a lot. So this year, while I am trying to make everything a bit healthier, I decided to tweak this biscotti recipe and use virgin coconut oil instead of butter. I was a little hesitant at first because I have only just started using coconut oil in my baking so I wasn't entirely sure how this would work out. I am happy to report that this is a winner!

A Healthier Alternative: Crunchy Almond Biscotti
4 Tablespoons cold coconut oil (I prefer to use virgin but that isn't necessary)
- 1/2 cup sugar:
1 large cold egg
2 1/2 teaspoons anisette
1 1/4 cups flour
- 3/4 cup almonds:
2 Tablespoons cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons anise seed
Heat oven to 375f
Start by chopping up your almonds and toasting in the oven - keep an eye on them, if you turn your back too long they will burn (I start my timer at 5 minutes)!
Mix together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, anise seed, toasted almonds (cooled down)
In mixer bowl cream sugar and coconut oil, adding egg and anisette - I use Pernod
Once they are combined, begin to add in flour mixture
Once combined (mixture should come away from the sides of bowl to form a dough ball), pour out dough onto floured surface and create two 'logs' - dough may be a little sticky so be sure and use flour
Flatten out and round the ends
Stick in the oven for approximately 15-20 minutes - DO NOT under bake! Keep an eye on them and make sure they are a dark toasty brown
Turn each log onto the cutting board slightly diagonal and cut using a serrated knife
After slicing, laying each biscotti on their side back onto the cookie sheet. return to oven to brown for approximately 5-10 minutes - make sure they are toasted
Cool on a wire rack.
