Perfect Keto Biscotti
Have you ever wanted something a little bit sweet in the afternoon? Or perhaps you want a small treat to enjoy alongside your coffee or tea. Our recipe for keto chocolate biscotti is perfect for those moments when you want a little something sweet but not overly saccharine. Our recipe is made with almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, butter, erythritol, and unsweetened chocolate chips- all of which comes together to make a beautiful, tasty biscotti! And, of course, it will fit right into your low carb, keto diet!
Almond flour is a keto baking staple and our flour of choice here at Tasteaholics. Almond flour tends to bake the best out of all the keto flour alternatives. It is light and fluffy (like traditional flour) and it has a lovely nutty taste. Unlike other keto flours, almond flour does not make baked goods dense and chewy, a problem that coconut flour or chickpea flour can have. Almond flour is also quite easy to find in most grocery stores or online. Almond flour is also reasonably priced. While it may be more than white, all-purpose flour, it is not outrageously expensive. When you consider the fact that there are many more nutrients in a bag of almond flour than white flour, you are getting the quality and nutrition that you pay for! Almond flour is definitely the winner!
Another ingredient in this recipe that is quite healthy is the unsweetened chocolate chips and unsweetened cocoa powder. Chocolate, in its unsweetened state, has long been known to be nutritious. Chocolate has a high amount of natural antioxidants, even more than blueberries or acai berries which are often pointed to as hallmark foods for antioxidant quantity. Eating foods that are high in antioxidants will protect your cells from free radicals that can play a part in heart disease, cancer, and other major ailments. So, you can add those chocolate chips and cocoa powder to this biscotti happily, knowing that you are not only getting great flavor but also a nutritionally packed food!
Our biscotti recipe has just enough sweetness thanks to the erythritol which is the perfect zero carb sweetener to bake with. The chocolatey taste shines through and the slightly crunchy, slightly chewy texture is sure to be one that you love. We definitely recommend making a large batch of biscotti as it keeps quite well when stored in an airtight container, giving you a convenient treat to have on hand for anytime you need something a little sweet. Perfect for snacking, perfect for dipping in coffee and perfect for enjoying on the go- this recipe is delightful and should be made right away! Time to start baking!
