There isn’t any higher associate for a scorching cup of espresso than scrumptious selfmade biscotti. This recipe is flippantly candy and gives a pleasant contact of maple taste. Be at liberty so as to add a sprinkling of coarse white glowing sugar or additional maple sugar to the highest earlier than the primary bake if you need it sweeter.
If you want to make this recipe with out eggs, I all the time substitute with 1/2 cup of aquafaba (chickpea liquid) and it really works completely.
One factor I’ve discovered about biscotti, is that you probably have a favourite household recipe, you should utilize that as your base and swap out the add-ins (walnuts on this recipe), extracts (maple on this recipe) and/or sugar (maple on this recipe). So, if you need to transform your favourite recipe to creating it maple walnut as an alternative of creating a brand new recipe, swap out some or all the sugar for maple sugar, swap out the extract for 1/4 tsp maple (or simply add if it does not embrace an extract), and swap out the add-ins for chopped walnuts.
I take advantage of this recipe as my base in making cranberry orange, cinnamon raisin, hazelnut-cappuccino, cherry pistachio, and cinnamon sugar biscotti. All are so scrumptious!
