How to make orange almond chocolate biscotti

These are the ingredients I used. Amounts are on the supplies tab. Preheat oven to 350°.

Mix dry ingredients.

Wash and dry the orange.

Use the outer orange skin or zest by grating it onto the flour mixture. Mix well.

Add the wet, orange juice & maple syrup. Mix well.

I didn't have sliced almonds, so put almonds and chocolate in the small food processor a few seconds.

Not too small, no need for more powder.

Mix into the batter. This would make great cookie dough chunks in my lactose-free ice cream. It is Scoopable and so delicious.

Shape on parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Some kind of rectangle is great. Bake 20 min @ 350°.

This is one I baked yesterday. I cooled it on a rack in the frig for an hour.

Cut it into eight or more slices. Pre heat oven to 250°. When cooled, slice and bake 10 minutes, turn over the slices and bake 10 minutes, TURN OFF THE OVEN. Let them cool and dry in the oven.

Today's I pre scored during the first 5 minutes of the twenty minute baking at 350°. I made one yesterday for us and one as a gift for my sister. This one is for all the great people I work with.

Enjoy a biscotti with your favorite drink.
