BANANA PECAN BISCOTTI



Banana Pecan Biscotti image

From Cooking Light website. Something different to make with over-ripe bananas (this is the key to a strong banana flavour--the more spotted the banana the tastier.) The biscotti are very small "baby-finger" sized--probably how they earned a low calorie rating!

Time 5h

Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup white sugar
½ cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup unsalted butter
2 eggs
⅓ cup milk, scalded and cooled
¼ cup chocolate hazelnut spread
½ cup chopped pecans
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
¾ cup heavy cream
9 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Place the yeast, instant coffee, cocoa, four, sugar, ricotta cheese, butter, eggs, milk and chocolate hazelnut spread into the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Set the machine for DOUGH and press the START button. At the beep- or at the end of the second knead, add the chocolate chips and pecans.
  • Grease a large baking sheet. Form the dough into two thick logs about 3 1/2 inches wide and 12 inches long. Cover and let rise until double, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake biscotti for 40 to 45 minutes, until edges begin to brown. Cool on wire racks. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs into 1/2 inch wide slices. Lay the slices cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, turn and bake 5 minutes more, until dry. Do not brown.
  • When the biscotti are completely cool, make the chocolate dip. In a small saucepan, heat cream until scalding hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the semisweet chocolate until smooth. Allow to cool slightly. Dip biscotti halfway into the chocolate and set onto waxed paper to dry. Store in an airtight container. Do not refrigerate. These will keep for several weeks.

Time 3h25m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup mashed ripe banana
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon rum
½ cup toasted, chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and stir to mix well. Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl, and add the sugar, banana, oil, and rum. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture, blend well, and drop in the pecans, mixing them thoroughly into the dough. Form the dough into 4 logs about 1/2 inch thick, place them onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets, and bake for 25 minutes, until the cookie logs begin to brown.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookie logs cool for 10 minutes. Remove the logs from the parchment paper and cut each log into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place the biscotti back onto the cookie sheets and bake for 15 minutes per side (30 minutes total) until cookies begin to brown. Remove to racks to cool. The biscotti will be soft at first, and will harden as they cool.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your biscotti will be.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscotti tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will make it easier to handle and slice.
  • Bake the Biscotti Twice: Baking the biscotti twice will help them to dry out and become crispy.
  • Store the Biscotti Properly: Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Banana pecan biscotti is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on its own or with your favorite dunk. It is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can easily make this classic Italian cookie at home.
