Extra Crispy Keto Biscotti

This recipe creates extra crispy keto-friendly biscotti made primarily with almond flour and a mix of whole nuts like pistachios and pecans. The biscotti log is baked twice: first to set the dough and then sliced and baked again to achieve a firm, crunchy texture ideal for dipping in coffee or tea. The sweetener erythritol and almond extract add subtle flavor while keeping the recipe low-carb. Special care is needed when slicing the cooled log to prevent breakage due to its fragility when warm.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup / 125g almond flour or ground almonds (reduce by 1 tablespoon if using extra-fine almond flour)
  • ½ cup / 60g pistachio almonds and hazelnuts also work
  • ½ cup / 60g pecan almonds and hazelnuts also work
  • ¼ cup / 50g erythritol granulated
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt sea salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F electric or 160C / 320F fan.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl - almond flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, whole pistachios, crushed pecans and the pinch of salt.
  3. Add the wet ingredients - beaten egg and almond extract - and stir, then knead until a dough forms.
  4. Roll the dough into a log shape. Mine was 28 cm long. Flatten into a biscotti shape.
  5. Bake on the middle shelf for around 25-30 minutes until lightly browned.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. The log will firm up. Then cut into biscotti with a serrated knife and lay down flat next to each other on the baking sheet. See tips for slicing in the recipe notes.
  7. Reheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F and return to the oven for another 12-15 minutes to allow the biscotti to crisp up.

Notes

  • This recipe yields about 12 biscotti, each with approximately 1.5 grams of net carbs.
  • Wait until the baked dough log is completely cooled and firm before slicing to prevent breakage.
  • Use the sharpest serrated knife available and stabilize the log by pressing the slice against it while cutting.
  • Store finished biscotti in an airtight container; they are also suitable for freezing.
  • To meal prep, freeze sliced biscotti and bake from frozen for about 20 minutes to crisp up before serving.
