Before I share this fabulous recipe I would like to thank all the well-wishers who have wondered about my disappearance this past month! I'm still away and will be heading back to Wales towards the end of January. I've been experimenting with biscotti recipes lately and I wanted a healthy, fruity snack that I can have with my tea whilst enjoying my first sunny winter in over 2 years...
I used my Seedy Biscotti recipe as a guide, and replaced an egg with some bananas (less calories YAY!), and added some lovely roasted peanuts for a crunchy texture. Also, the use of wholemeal flour adds an even more 'nutty' flavor in addition to all that fantastic fibre! I put the word biscotti in quotation marks because the resulting biscuit is not as hard as traditional biscotti, but yummy (and equally 'dunkable') all the same!
Nutty Banana 'Biscotti' Recipe (makes around 24)
200g wholemeal flour
100g granulated sugar
100g chopped roasted peanuts
50g ground roasted peanuts
50g ground walnuts
2 medium bananas (mashed)
1 egg
1tsp vanilla extract
¼tsp salt
1 tsp (heaped) baking powder
a little milk to glaze
- Preheat the oven to 190°C and measure out all the dry ingredients and place them in a bowl.
- Mix the mashed bananas in with the egg and vanilla essence and add to the rest of the ingredients.
- Now MIX! At first it may seem as though the dough might not come together, but trust me, keep at it and it will form a nice, firm dough. Divide the dough in half and shape into logs, flatten slightly and place on a floured baking sheet.
- Glaze with a little milk and pop them into the oven for 25 minutes; when cool enough to handle, slice the loaves into slices and return to a 140°C oven for an additional 25 minutes.
I hope you enjoy this recipe... The biscuits were a big hit at my house!
I spelt definitely wrong... I can't be asked to change it! Sorry guys! xxx
Looks great! The pictures are making me hungry. Maybe I'll have to try my hand at making these today :)
Banana bread is great, this would probably be even better!
