DIRECTIONS
This recipe is suitable for all Phases except for the first two weeks of Induction due to the nuts.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a sheet pan with a silicone mat or piece of parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the pumpkin, egg whites, 1/2 cup granular sugar substitute, pinch of stevia, vanilla, and melted butter. To another bowl mix together the almond meal, sliced almonds, hazelnut meal, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice (or use 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/3 tsp nutmeg, 1/3 tsp ginger and 1/4 tsp allspice) and additional ground cinnamon.
- Form into two logs about 1-inch thick by 3-inches wide and place onto parchment about 1-2 inches apart. Bake for 15 minutes, turn pan around and bake another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and lower temperature to 300°F. Allow to cool for a few minutes then carefully cut into 1/2 inch slices with a serrated knife. Place onto an cooling rack and place the rack into the 300°F oven for another 15-20 minutes until browned on the edges. Remove from oven or allow to stay in the oven with the door cracked and the oven off overnight to fully dry out.
- Optional Glaze: Combine 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol and mix with 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice or water to form a semi-thick glaze. Drizzle over biscotti. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 1 week. Bring to room temperature before eating.
