How to Make Diabetic Lemon Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor or large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose almond flour, 1/2 cup sugar substitute (erythritol or your preferred brand), and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  3. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted margarine, softened, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  5. Pulse until the dough just comes together around the blade. If using a mixing bowl, mix until combined.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 2-3 times, adding more almond flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to form a cohesive dough.
  7. Shape the dough into a log approximately 2 inches in diameter and 12 inches long. Place the log onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 275°F (135°C).
  10. Using a sharp knife, cut the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Cut each slice in half to create biscotti.
  11. Arrange the biscotti, cut-side up, on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  12. Transfer the biscotti to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Once cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
