Lemon-Almond Biscotti: Crisp, Elegant, and Perfectly Citrusy


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 1½ cups blanched almond flour
• ¼ cup coconut flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp sea salt
• Zest of 1 large lemon (about 1 tbsp)
• 2 large eggs
• ⅓ cup monk fruit–erythritol blend (1:1 sugar substitute)
• 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract
• ½ cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted
• Optional glaze: ½ cup powdered monk fruit blend + 1–2 tsp lemon juice


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Whisk almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in lemon zest.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth and slightly thickened (~1 min).
  4. Fold dry ingredients into wet, then stir in toasted almonds until just combined.
  5. Shape dough into a 10″x2.5″ log on the sheet (damp hands help). Flatten slightly to ~¾” thick.
  6. Bake 25–28 min until firm to touch and golden at edges. Cool 10 min.
  7. Slice & dry: Reduce oven to 300°F (150°C). Use a serrated knife to cut log diagonally into ½-inch slices. Lay cut-side down on sheet.
  8. Bake 15 min, flip, bake 10–12 min more until crisp and dry throughout.
  9. Cool completely on a rack. Optional: drizzle with lemon glaze and let set.
