Ingredients

• 200 grams Almond flour
• 125 grams Whole almonds
• 75 grams Granulated erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

Add the whole almonds into the dry mixture and mix until the almonds are evenly distributed.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms.

Step 6

Lightly dust a clean surface with almond flour. Turn the dough out onto this surface and gently shape it into a log approximately 30 cm (12 inches) long and 6 cm (2.5 inches) wide.

Step 7

Transfer the log onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten the top slightly with your hands.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the log is golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes on the baking sheet.

Step 10

Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C (320°F).

Step 11

Once the log is cool enough to handle, use a sharp serrated knife to cut it into 1 cm (around 0.5 inch) slices.

Step 12

Arrange the slices cut side down on the baking sheet and return them to the oven for an additional 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are dry and crisp.

Step 13

Remove from oven and let the cantuccini cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
