This almond kale biscotti recipe is simple and tasty. I've made it naturally green with... kale! But feel free to leave it out if that's too wacky.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (60g) kale
  • 2 ½ cups (250g) all-purpose flour (plain flour)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 325F / 160C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Simmer or steam the kale leaves for a few minutes until tender. Drain and refresh under cold water. Drain, squeeze out any excess water and puree in a food processor or with a hand held stick blender. It will still be slightly stringy. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar and chopped almonds.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the almond extract and kale and mix well. Add to the flour mixture and work into a firm dough. You may need to use floured hands.
  5. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a log the length of the baking tray.
  6. Place it onto the prepared tray and bake for 35-40 minutes or until it begins to turn golden. Leave the oven on.
  7. Allow to cool for 15 minutes then cut at a slight angle into even slices ½ inch thick.
  8. Place the slices, cut side up, onto the lined baking tray and bake again for 12 minutes. Flip each piece over and bake for a further 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
