SUGAR FREE BISCOTTI RECIPE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350. Prep a rimmed baking sheet for nonstick. I use parchment paper. In a medium bowl, use a whisk or a for to mix together the almond flour and baking powder.
- Next, in a mixing bowl, beat together the sugar alternative and the butter until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time and then add the extracts. Stir in the dry ingredients from the first bowl until just blended. Then fold in the almond slivers. Form the dough into a log that is about 12" long and 3" wide (give or take). The dough will be crumbly and you will need to use your hands. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden before removing from the oven and allowing to cool for 30 minutes.
- Once the baked biscotti has cooled you can slice it diagonally into ½-3/4" slices and then place them cut side down on the baking sheet. Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown. Transfer the biscotti to a cooling rack to cool. Top your biscotti with your choice of ingredients and serve.

I modified a recipe to make this a darker biscotti. For a richer almond flavor, use almond extract instead of the vanilla.

VANILLA ALMOND BISCOTTI - NO SUGAR ADDED
Splenda is perfect for this recipe - noticed NO DIFFERNCE from the sugar - so good - and by not having the sugar my diabetic son can enjoy too! We use the Biscotti Pipe-n-Bake pan but I'm sure this recipe can be used for traditional biscotti too.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more nutrients than frozen or dried cranberries.
- Chop the cranberries finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the biscotti.
- Toast the almonds. Toasting the almonds will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the biscotti. This will help prevent them from crumbling.
- Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
These sugar-free cranberry almond biscotti are a delicious and healthy snack or dessert. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a holiday party. With their festive red and green colors, they are also a great addition to Christmas cookie platters.
