Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 25 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 80 grams Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or stevia blend)
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 50 grams Low-calorie dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar substitute, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or spoon. Stir until a dense dough forms. If you are using low-calorie dark chocolate chips, fold them into the dough at this stage.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a rectangular log approximately 20 cm (8 inches) long and 8 cm (3 inches) wide.

Step 6

Place the dough log onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the log from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 160°C (320°F).

Step 8

Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the log into approximately 12 biscotti pieces, each about 1 cm (0.5 inch) thick.

Step 9

Arrange the biscotti slices flat on the baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping the biscotti halfway through, to achieve a crunchy texture.

Step 10

Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
