Healthy Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti
This Healthy Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti is crunchy and perfectly sweet, you'd never know it's refined sugar free, gluten free, dairy free, and vegan too!
Ingredients
Biscotti:
- 224g (2 cups) Hazelnut Meal
- 80g (½ cup) Coconut Sugar
- 28g (¼ cup) Ground Flaxseed
- 1 tsp Double-Acting Baking Powder
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 123g (½ cup) Unsweetened Applesauce
Garnish:
- 2 oz 70% Cacao Chocolate (melted)
- 2 tbs Chopped Hazelnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together the hazelnut meal, coconut sugar, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the applesauce and mix until you get a uniform dough.
- Scoop the dough onto the cookie sheet and shape into a log (roughly 4"x8"). Bake for 25 minutes.
- Let cool for 20 minutes, then using a sharp knife, slice into ~½" strips. Carefully lay the strips on their sides, then bake for 10 minutes.
- Carefully flip the biscotti (I used tongs at first but they're a bit too rough, so just be quick with your hands and you won't burn yourself!) and bake for another 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the biscotti and sprinkle with the chopped hazelnuts. Refrigerate until the chocolate firms, then serve and enjoy!
