Sugar Free Gingerbread Biscotti
A crispy, delicious biscotti tasting like gingerbread with a sugar free option- naturally gluten free!
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free flour plus more for kneading, sifted
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tsp ginger
- 1/4 cup + 2 T Natvia natural sweetener/Norbu Sweetener or 1/4 cup caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup dried currants
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and sweetener of choice and mix until combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the vanilla extract. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Slowly fold in the currants and raisins until incorporated. Do not over mix.
- On a floured surface, pour the dough from the bowl and lightly knead it until the clumps are removed.
- Form the dough into a log shape and place gently on a baking tray and put in the oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until slightly firm. Keep oven turned on.
- Remove the log shaped dough from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the dough into thin slices (about 1 cm each) and spread out back into the baking tray and put it back in the oven for a further 10 minutes.
Notes
Biscotti is best when eaten crispy. If you really want more softer versions, do not put back in the oven after cooling and slicing.
