Equipment
Ingredients
Flax Egg
- 1 TBSP ground flax seed
- 2½ TBSP water
Dry Ingredients — in a small mixing bowl with wooden spoon
- 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oat flour (see notes, 115 g)
- ¼ cup hazelnuts (rough chopped)
- 2 TBSP cacao powder
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 TBSP agave
- 1½ TBSP sunflower nut butter (or almond butter)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 TBSP water (if needed)
Chocolate Drizzle
- 1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Make flax egg: put the ground flax meal in a small cup or bowl. Add the water and stir. Let the egg set for 5 minutes to absorb the water.
- Measure dry ingredients into medium work bowl or mixer, stir to combine.
- Add flax egg and wet ingredients, stir until a dough comes together. It will be very stiff.
- Line a 3 cup Pyrex container with parchment paper. Press the dough into this "mold." Use the back of a spoon dipped in water if the dough is being stubborn.
- Alternate method: place 1/4 of a pice of parchment paper on your work surface. Using a pencil and ruler, draw a 5" x 7" rectangle on the paper. Press the dough into a single "biscuit" inside the rectangle.
- Use the parchment paper to lift the "biscuit" onto your baking sheet. Bake 18 to 20 minutes until the biscuit is done and a bit dry. Lift out of the oven and let the biscuit cool on wire rack for 10 minutes.
- Cut the biscuit into 8 slices. Place the biscuits back on the cooking sheet with one of the sides facing down. Bake 10 minutes. Flip the biscuits so the other side is down, and bake 10 minutes more. Remove from oven to a cooling rack.
- While your biscotti are cooling (and making the kitchen smell amazing!), metal the chocolate chips. Place them in a small cup (a coffee cup works well), and microwave for 22 seconds. Take the cup out of the microwave and stir the chocolate. Repeat this process, 22 seconds at a time, to heat the chocolate slowly until it is all melted.
- Decorate the biscotti with the melted chocolate. Serve with your favorite podcast and warm beverage. Happy New Year!
Notes
The secret to this recipe is the GF oat flour—and you can make it in your kitchen. Put about two cups of dry, quick-cooking rolled oats in your blender and spin away. Process until the oats take on the consistency of a coarse flour. While the oats themselves are naturally gluten free, the words on the packaging assure you the oats are processed without any cross contamination from other grains.
