Best 6 Oatmeal Raisin Almond Biscotti Recipes

CLASSIC BISCOTTI RECIPE - 4 WAYS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy.
• Add the eggs and vanilla extract. If you would like to add almond extract or anise extract, add it now. Mix until well combined.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt.
• Add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl and mix on low speed until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a ball and then use your hands to shape each ball into a log that is about 8 inches long.
• Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to flatten the dough logs until they are about 3/4-inch thick. Gently press the sides and ends of the logs to even them out and flatten them.
• If desired, sprinkle the logs with turbinado sugar.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until lightly golden and the center of the logs is almost firm and bounces back when touched.
• Let the logs cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes.
• Use a sharp knife to cut the logs into biscotti shape, on the diagonal. Press straight down with the knife, rather than sawing.

ALMOND AND RAISIN BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and granulated sugar and beat, with a whisk or hand mixer, until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides periodically. Add the orange zest and beat in the
• whole eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla.
• Gently mix in the flour, baking powder and salt. Once the flour is incorporated, fold in the almonds, raisins and anise.
• Divide the dough into two pieces. If the dough is sticky, dust your hands with a little flour. Roll the dough into two logs the length of a sheet tray and place on the tray. Beat the egg white with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush the logs with the egg white and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Bake until dark golden brown, slightly crisp around the edges and still a bit soft in the middle, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven to a cutting board and slice on the bias with a serrated knife while they are still warm. Slicing while warm will prevent crumbling.
• Lay the biscotti back on the sheet tray(s), cut-sides down, and return to the oven until a little more golden around the edges, another 10 minutes. This will harden the biscotti but not make them like rocks.
• Remove from the oven to a serving platter and serve with coffee or Vin Santo for dipping.
• Biscolicious!
