How to Make Banana Pecan Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  4. Add ¾ cup granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon salt; whisk to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, mash 3 very ripe bananas with a fork. Add ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg; mix well.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
  7. Lightly flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface.
  8. Shape the dough into two 8-inch logs, about ½ inch thick.
  9. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 23 minutes.
  11. Reduce oven temperature to 250°F (120°C).
  12. Remove the logs from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet.
  13. Using a sharp knife, cut each log into ½-inch thick slices.
  14. Arrange the biscotti slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
  15. Bake at 250°F (120°C) for 15 minutes.
  16. Flip the biscotti and bake for another 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  17. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Biscotti will harden as they cool.
