Ingredients

• 10 slices whole wheat bread
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Stevia or preferred sugar substitute
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the whole wheat bread into 1-inch thick strips if they are not already in the desired size for biscocho.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the Stevia or preferred sugar substitute, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir together until well mixed.

Step 5

Add the melted butter to the mixed dry ingredients and stir until you have a uniform paste.

Step 6

Using a pastry brush, evenly spread the butter and cinnamon mixture onto each slice of bread, ensuring the entire surface is covered.

Step 7

Place the coated slices onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the bread slices are golden brown and crisp, flipping them once halfway through baking.

Step 9

Once baked, remove the biscocho from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Step 10

Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
