Hi folks,
Does anyone here have a low carb biscotti recipe that doesn't use artificial sugars? I am okay using a small amount of something like maple syrup as a sweetener, as long as there are no grains in the dough. I thought I used to have one but can't seem to track it down.
Thanks!

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, sugar and baking powder. Stir in eggs to form a dough.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the melted coconut oil and almond extract. Stir the mixture into the dough.
  4. Form a wide, flattened log (like a flattened loaf shape) out of the dough on the lined baking sheet. It should be about 3/4" tall, 4" wide, and 7.5" long.
  5. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden brown. The top should be firm but the inside is still a little soft at this point.
  6. Allow the loaf to cool to room temperature, about 30-60 minutes, to allow it to firm up more. Toward the end, preheat the oven again, this time to 300 degrees F.
  7. Use a sharp knife to carefully slice the loaf into individual biscotti (about 1/2" thick). A straight down movement works better than a see-saw motion, to avoid crumbling. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet (you may need two baking sheets for this). Handle the slices with care - they are fragile for now.
  8. Bake on the second-from-the-top rack for 10-15 minutes, until bottom side is golden. Carefully flip the biscotti over (they'll still be soft and fragile). Bake for 8-12 more minutes, until other side is golden.
  9. Leave the pan(s) in the oven. Turn off the heat and prop the door open with a wooden spoon. Allow to gradually cool completely in the oven, until crispy.

Thanks! This looks really similar to what I'm recalling, but I used maple syrup for a lower GI. Maybe 1-2T? I will use your recipe as my base and play around.

For me sugar, maple syrup or Honey affect my BG the same. But you can test and see what works for you.
