How to Make Healthy Biscotti
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the vanilla extract (or desired extract), lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is light and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the dried cherries (or other additions) and nuts.
- If the dough is too sticky, lightly wet your hands with cold water.
- On the prepared baking sheet, shape the dough into two logs, approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 275°F (135°C).
- Using a sharp knife, cut the logs diagonally into 3/4-inch thick slices.
- Arrange the biscotti slices on their sides on the baking sheet.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the biscotti are completely dry and crisp.
