First things first: thank you all so, so much for the kind words on yesterday’s post about finally becoming an RD. I still can’t believe that I’m really done! It’s been an honor to share my back to school journey with all of you over the past 3 years. Thank you for reading and stay tuned to see what comes next. 🙂
And now – a new recipe! I’m officially obsessed with biscotti.
After my Whole Wheat Pumpkin Goji Biscotti success in December, I decided it was time to try my hand at another batch, because let’s be honest… lattes just aren’t quite the same without biscotti.
This time, the goal was an old favorite: almond biscotti, but with a twist – no milk or eggs so my vegan friends could enjoy it, too.
It was a major success, if I do say so myself. Like last time, these are whole wheat and lower in sugar than normal biscotti, too. Instead of skim milk, I used Silk Pure Almond Unsweetened Vanilla almondmilk, which not only kept the recipe vegan but also added a fun hint of vanilla to the biscotti, too. It’s only 30 calories per serving, 100% free of lactose and dairy, and also adds a little calcium punch to the mix – it has 50% more calcium per serving than skim milk!
Did I mention they’re delicious? My friend Gena happily served as my taste tester and gave them 2 thumbs up. 🙂
