Thanks for the recipe. Just wondering if i can use Almond flour instead whole wheat? If yes can you help me with the measurements?Do you have any recipes based on almond flour? I see lot of them using eggs and im seeing if i can get something egg less with almond flour.

Hi kp. This is what my next biscotti post will be .. sharing the recipe with you
Almond flour biscotti With Cranberry & Orange
1 c almond pulp (from making one batch of almond milk)
2 c whole wheat spelt flour (normal flour would work fine)
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c applesauce
2 tbsp ground flaxseed/linseed
6 tbsp water
1 tsp vanilla
zest of one orange
1 c blanched almonds
1/2 c dried cranberries
Mix together the flaxseed and water and set aside. Preheat oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with baking paper. While the oven is heating, place the almonds in the oven for about 8 minutes to toast lightly (this step is optional). Don't forget to take them out!! Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar, then set aside. In another bowl, combine the applesauce, flaxseed mix, vanilla and orange zest. Pour this into the dry mixture along with the almond pulp, toasted almonds and dried cranberries then mix all together well. Split into two and shape into loaves on your baking sheet. Bake for 35 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool 5-10 minutes before slicing into 1-1.5 cm wide slices. Return the slices to the baking sheet, sliced side down, and bake another 10 minutes. Take out, flip over, and bake a final 10 minutes on the other side. Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Hope you like it
