MAPLE - OAT BISCOTTI
Carolyn's recipe ~ Gen Online Chat
Biscotti is the plural of Biscotto which means twice-cooked and refers
to the peculiar double-baking process that produces a crunchy cookie
with a long shelf life. These are wonderful with coffee or tea and are
really quite addictive. My friends ask when they can again help me make
more Biscotti as they also are addicted. Do try them and enjoy.
1 cup rolled oats
1-1/2 cups all-purpose white flour
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup melted butter/margarine
2 large eggs
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1-1/2 tsp pure maple extract
2/3 cup chopped pitted dates
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, finely chopped
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spread oats on a baking sheet and toast them in
the oven, stirring often, for 15 minutes. Transfer 1/3 cup of oats to a food
processor or blender & grind them to a fine powder. (I use my nut chopper).
Combine whole and powdered oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, soda & salt.
Whisk together eggs, maple syrup, maple extract & butter, add to
the dry ingredients; mix until almost smooth. Stir in dates & nuts.
Working on a floured surface, shape dough into 2 logs, each about 14 inches long
and 1-1/2 inches thick. Place the logs on a greased baking sheet (I use a spray)
about 4 inches apart & bake for 25 minutes. Transfer the logs to a rack & cool.
Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees. Cut the logs diagonally (//)
into 1/2 inch thick slices. Stand the slices upright on the baking sheet
leaving some room between each slice & bake 30 minutes. Let cool before
storing. Store in tightly covered tin or jar. Will keep for at least a month.
