Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries (sugar-free)
• 0.5 cup Chopped almonds
• 0.5 cup Sugar-free white or dark chocolate chips (optional, for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar substitute until well-combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth and uniform.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but easy to work with.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a log roughly 12 inches long and 3-4 inches wide. Flatten slightly to create a uniform surface.

Step 7

Bake the dough log in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until firm to the touch and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes.

Step 8

Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).

Step 9

Using a serrated knife, gently slice the cooled log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake the biscotti for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are firm and lightly toasted on both sides.

Step 11

Optional: Once cooled, dip one end of each biscotti into melted sugar-free chocolate chips and let them set on parchment paper until hardened.

Step 12

Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy with coffee, tea, or as a festive treat!
