Ingredients

• 1 medium ripe banana
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 240 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 80 grams chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a slightly sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.

Step 6

Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a log about 10–12 inches long and 3 inches wide, placing them a few inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch and lightly golden.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the logs cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).

Step 9

Once the logs are cool enough to handle, transfer them to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the logs into 3/4-inch-thick biscotti.

Step 10

Lay the biscotti slices cut side down on the baking sheet. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Flip each biscotti and bake for another 10 minutes until crisp and golden.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
