Time 3h25m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup mashed ripe banana
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon rum
½ cup toasted, chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and stir to mix well. Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl, and add the sugar, banana, oil, and rum. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture, blend well, and drop in the pecans, mixing them thoroughly into the dough. Form the dough into 4 logs about 1/2 inch thick, place them onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets, and bake for 25 minutes, until the cookie logs begin to brown.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookie logs cool for 10 minutes. Remove the logs from the parchment paper and cut each log into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place the biscotti back onto the cookie sheets and bake for 15 minutes per side (30 minutes total) until cookies begin to brown. Remove to racks to cool. The biscotti will be soft at first, and will harden as they cool.

BANANA PECAN BISCOTTI



Banana Pecan Biscotti image

From Cooking Light website. Something different to make with over-ripe bananas (this is the key to a strong banana flavour--the more spotted the banana the tastier.) The biscotti are very small "baby-finger" sized--probably how they earned a low calorie rating!

BANANA BREAD WITH PECANS

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     dessert

Time 2h50m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 overripe bananas
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture. With an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, whip the remaining bananas and sugar together for a good 3 minutes; you want a light and fluffy banana cream. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla; beat well and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated; no need to overly blend. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Give the pan a good rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
  • Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Don't get nervous if the banana bread develops a crack down the center of the loaf; that's no mistake, it's typical. Rotate the pan periodically to ensure even browning.
  • Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes or so, and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Toast the slices of banana bread, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your biscotti will be.
  • Toast the pecans. Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscotti tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will make it easier to slice and shape.
  • Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown. Underbaked biscotti will be soft and chewy, while overbaked biscotti will be dry and hard.
  • Store the biscotti in an airtight container. Biscotti can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Banana pecan biscotti are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious biscotti anytime.
