Vegan Chocolate Chip Biscotti

Posted by Gabrielle in Breakfast, Chocolate, Cooking, Desserts | 2 comments

Hello & Happy Wednesday!!

I’ve been on a mission to explore a variety of new recipes to feature on EDS. One in particular was a traditional biscotti. I’ve whipped up a few almond flour varieties, and while those are good, I love exploring the traditional recipes to compare and of course offer more options. 

Almond flour can also be on the pricer side, so it’s great to try concepts with the staple white flour! 

Biscotti is one of those things I never tried until a few years ago. They pair great with coffee, are such a staple, a cross between a cookie and a biscuit, and are just so easy!!

I tested 2 different recipes yesterday, and while I loved the other option that required less ingredients, it didn’t mirror that classic biscotti and just didn’t work with chocolate chips. Stay tuned for an oil free and vegan egg free option coming soon! 

What’s great about this traditional recipe is that it’s just like the real deal! It features a handful of ingredients, vegan butter, flax eggs, you can chill the dough and baked biscottis to cut down on time, they are perfect for any season, you can skip dipping them in chocolate, you can add orange zest if you like, and bake for even longer if you like that ultra hard texture! 

If you’r searching for an effortless biscotti recipe or love all things chocolate, you have to try this new vegan Chocolate Chip Biscotti!!

Why this recipe is great: 

Quicker

Easy 

No eggs or milk

Features flax eggs

Packed with chocolate chips
