Time 1h30m

Yield 30 biscotti

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/3 cups flour
1 cup Splenda granular
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
100 g egg substitute (or 2 eggs_ )
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons fat-free evaporated milk (optional)
1 cup sliced almonds
2 cups fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325ºF.
  • Combine dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Beat egg substitute, egg white, and vanilla in a separate bowl until frothy.
  • Add egg mixture to dry ingredients, mixing just until moist, using an electric mixer on medium speed (I used a whisk).
  • Add almonds and cranberries; mix thoroughly.
  • On a floured surface, divide batter in half, knead 4 times by folding over, and pat each half into a log about 14 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide.
  • If you find the mixture is too dry, add 2 tbs of fat free evaporated milk.
  • Place on a cookie sheet and bake in oven for 30 minutes.
  • Cool on wire rack.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 300ºF.
  • Cut biscotti into 1/2 inch slices. Stand upright on cookie sheet and bake another 20 minutes.
  • Let cool and store in a loosely covered container.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, so I used dried cherries instead. The biscotti still turned out really good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my biscotti turned out too soft. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These biscotti were a bit too dry for my taste, but they still had a nice flavor. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

I've tried a lot of different biscotti recipes, but this one is by far the best. The biscotti are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. I highly recommend this recipe!
