Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil (or any neutral oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup sliced raw almonds
- Coarse sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and fine sea salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, almond extract, and applesauce. Mix until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in the sliced almonds.
- Shape the Dough:
- Divide the dough in half and transfer each half to the prepared baking sheet. Shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Flatten slightly.
- Bake the Logs:
- Bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
- Slice and Bake Again:
- Carefully transfer the logs to a cutting board and slice them diagonally into ¾-inch thick pieces. Arrange the slices cut side down on the baking sheet.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack. If desired, sprinkle with coarse sea salt before serving.
