Equipment

• Large bowl
• wooden spoon
• measuring cups and spoons
• Star shaped cookie cutter

Ingredients

• 1 cup old-fashioned oats divided
• 1-3/4 cups white whole-wheat flour or sprouted whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp baking powder sodium free if watching salt intake
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup almonds chopped
• 1/4 cup water

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
• If you don’t have oat flour, blend 1/2 cup of oats in a food processor until finely ground.
• In a large bowl, combine the finely ground oats, remaining 1/2 cup of oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Mix well.
• After mixing – make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients. Into this hole, add and whisk maple syrup, molasses and vanilla to the dry ingredients and then mix all well until combined. If the dough is dry add a tablespoon of water at a time and mix until dough sticks together and can form into a ball.
• Transfer the dough to a parchment covered baking sheet and form it into a log, about 12-inches long by 2 – 4 inches wide.
• Spritz the top with water and then sprinkle chopped almonds over the top. Use the back of a large spoon or your hand to press the nuts into the dough. Spritzing the top with water first will help them stick.
• Place on middle rack in oven for 25 30 minutes or until a golden brown color and firm to the touch.
• Remove the log from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Reset oven temperature to 300°.
• Place log on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 1/2″ – 3/4″ biscotti size slices.
• Place the sliced biscotti flat on the baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes. Turn slices over and bake for another 6-8 minutes or until dry and firm.
• Remove biscotti from oven and let cool on a wire rack. They will get crisper as they cool.
