Chocolate Biscotti

How To Make Nutritious & Delicious High Protein, Nutrient Dense Biscotti

To Make Biscotti:

  • A biscotti is simply a double baked cookie-like treat, usually with slight variations of the ratio of flour to sugar to eggs, etc. to make it come out nice and crisp.
  • There are several ways to make Biscottis with superfood mix, and we’re still experimenting with them (since SFM has no sugar or flour, which are keys to getting the hard consistency of biscottis, it is a bit challenging to make them come out quite as hard & dry as a regular biscotti).
  • We’ve made them both with and without eggs added (typically 1-2 eggs per cup of SFM used), it works out fine either way so try both ways to determine your preference.
  • Simply follow any of the recipes given below or your own variations; spread the completed mix onto a large baking pan and shape it into a rounded, flattened loaf; use parchment paper or grease the baking tray to prevent it from sticking;
  • Bake it until done (test with a toothpick) typically 25-35 minutes; allow it to cool;
  • Slice the loaf into strips approximately 1-1.5 inches wide and lay them flat on the baking tray; you may need to re-grease the tray if not using parchment paper;
  • Bake again at the same temperature for another 15-25 minutes (being careful not to burn or overcook them);
  • Allow them to cool and they should turn out looking like a biscotti!

Chocolate Biscotti

Follow the above steps using the following ingredients:
2-3+ cups of Chocolate SuperFood Protein Mix &/or Chocolate Superfood Macaroon Mix depending on how many servings you�d like to make;
You can also use either the Naturally Sweetened-Unflavored Superfood Mix and add Cacao / Coco or use the Unsweetened-Unflavored version and add Cacao/Coco and the sweetener of your choice;
Optional: to boost protein content add 1 or more scoops of either P3-Paleo Pumpkin Seed Protein or P4-Peak Performance Plant Protein (obviously use the appropriate flavor of either);
Optional: if you want whatever you�re baking to rise a bit, you can add 1 tablespoon of Baking Powder per cup of SFM used and mix it up before adding other ingredients;
Optional but recommended: 1 � 2 shredded carrots;
Optional but recommended: 1 � 2 finely chopped, mashed, or blended bananas;
Options: Add chocolate chips &/or nuts if desired;
Optional if you�d like to add more slow-burning carbs: � � � cup of oats per cup of mix used (be advised that oats are not Paleo);
Mix it up and then add some water sparingly if needed (often there�s enough moisture from the bananas and carrots depending on how big they are and how many were used): add water just a few ounces at a time and mix to allow it to be absorbed; between � � 1 cup of water will be plenty in most cases;
Mix thoroughly.
The consistency should be that of a relatively thick batter, like a cake mix (see preparation videos on the website);
You may need to add a little more water (1-3 ounces), remember, it�s a lot easier to add water than it is to take it away, so add water just a tiny bit at a time, you can always add more if needed. That�s why we suggested starting with just a few ounces. The biggest mistake most people make is adding too much water which makes if very difficult to get the mix thick enough.
Place on the cookie or baking sheet and follow the general directions as outlined above.
