Maple Oatmeal Biscotti!

Here we go… this is going to be quick and dirty.

Dry Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Flour
• 1/2 Cup Oats
• 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar – Packed
• 2 TSP Saigon Cinnamon
• 1/2 TSP Baking Powder
• 1/4 TSP Baking Soda
• Pinch of Salt

Take all of that, put it in a bowl.

Then mix it together

 

Wet Ingredients:

• 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
• 1TBSP Coconut Oil
• 2 TSP Madagascar or Tahitian Vanilla
• 1/2 TSP Anise Extract
• 1 Egg Yolk
• 1 Egg White

K… grab something you can mix the wet ingredients in, and start measuring things out.

Here’s the thing… you’re going to use the whole egg, but not all at once.So, mix the yolk in with the rest of the liquids, save the egg white for a second.

Also… a note on the coconut oil… if you’ve never used it before.. it’s not a liquid.

It looks like Lard… and has a bucket load of saturated fat in it…. yet, it says on the label how it’s better than every oil out there.. and I’m sure that there’s a reason it’s in this hippie recipe…. but… whatever… you have to heat it up a little bit to make it a liquid so you can mix it all in….not long, but about 15 seconds in the microwave will turn it from the above into:

So… YAY!

After you mix all of the wet (minus egg white) together, mix the bowl of wet with the bowl of dry.

Yeah… it’s not very sticky… so now, dump the egg white in, and mix it together by hand…. it’ll glue things together a bit more…

So now that it’s sticking together, preheat the oven to 350 degrees, grab a cookie sheet and use a piece of parchment paper if you’re a dirt lovin hippie, or grab a piece of aluminum foil and give it a spray of baking spray. … Then make a 4 inch wide by 12 inch long log out of the mixture.

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, then pull it out of the oven, but leave the oven turned on. It should be a bit browned on the bottom.

After about 10 minutes, when you can handle it, grab a serrated knife and cut it into diagonal, biscotti looking pieces.

Now, lay the pieces down on their sides, and finish off at 350 for another 8-10 minutes…. they should be a little crunchy… like biscotti.

 

 

So… these are pretty tasty… in a dirty hippie kind of way….  Don’t get me wrong… they’re tasty enough… but they also just have that down-home taste to them.. not that big city biscotti we’ve all come to know and love… Picture biscotti that you might get at a farmhouse in the south.
