🛒 What Makes Keto Biscotti Special
Traditional biscotti are loaded with sugar and flour. Our version uses:
- Almond flour for a nutty, crumb-free base
- Sugar-free sweeteners that taste like the real deal
- Dark cocoa powder for rich chocolate flavor
Fun fact: The word “biscotti” means “twice-baked” in Italian. We keep this method to create that classic crunch!
📋 Ingredients You’ll Need
| Quantity | Ingredient | Why It’s Important |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5 cups | Almond flour | Gives structure and healthy fats |
| 1/3 cup | Unsweetened cocoa powder | Adds deep chocolate flavor |
| 2 tsp | Baking powder | Helps the dough rise |
| 1/4 tsp | Salt | Balances sweetness |
| 3 | Large eggs | Binds everything together |
| 1/2 cup | Powdered erythritol | Sweetens without carbs |

❓ Troubleshooting Common Issues
Problem: Biscotti crumbles when slicing. Fix: Let the log cool completely—wait 30 minutes minimum!
Problem: Too soft after baking. Fix: Bake 5 extra minutes per side. They’ll harden as they cool.
Story Time: My first batch fell apart because I rushed the cooling step. Now I set a timer and sip tea while waiting! ☕
💡 Final Tips for Success
- Use powdered sweetener—granular versions can make biscotti gritty.
- Slice diagonally for longer, cafe-style pieces.
- Share with friends (or hide them for yourself—no judgment here!).
