Dec 14, 2023 I know people in the US have a love-hate relationship with biscotti. Some people love it and for some it’s just too hard and crunchy. I come from a country where I grew up eating crunch biscuits/cookies. For example, rusk has been a part of chai time ever since I can remember, so were the crispy jeera biscuits and atta cookies. Rusk especially resembles biscotti in so many ways. Just like biscotti, they are also double baked and taste best when dipped in chai or coffee. I am definitely team biscotti because I love crunchy cookies. Making biscotti at home is easier than you think. And if you have an egg allergy or don’t eat eggs for religious reasons, then I have the perfect eggless biscotti recipe for you. This recipe only needs a few ingredients and you can easily make this at home. Biscotti makes a great cookie to bake and give to your family and friends during the holidays. They last long, don’t break and so they are great for shipping as well. And you can customize them in so many different ways. The flavor options are endless (see below).
How to Make Eggless Biscotti
Storage
Let the biscotti cool completely and then store in an airtight container. It should be good for 2 weeks at room temperature. I would recommend skipping the chocolate drizzle for a longer shelf life. The flaxseed meal is one of those things which you can definitely do without in this recipe but it helps in binding the dough. Since we don’t have eggs here I prefer something to hold the dough together and the flaxseed meal does that job perfectly. For the next batch, I reduced the amount of flaxseed meal and voila I had the perfect Eggless Biscotti recipe to share with you guys! You can also freeze the biscotti and then it will last a couple of months.
How To Make It Vegan?
This biscotti recipe can very easily be made vegan. Replace the butter with vegan butter. And replace the milk with a non-dairy milk like almond milk or soy milk. The rest of the recipe remains the same. If you want to drizzle the chocolate on top, make sure the chocolate is vegan.
Baking Time
Every oven is different and so the second bake time might be different for everyone. I recommend starting with around 9 minutes on each side, for a total of 18 minutes. My second bake was 12 minutes on each side. Make sure to not overbake else it will be too crunchy. The center might be soft to touch when you take the biscotti out of the oven but will continue to harden as it cools. If your biscotti is soft after it has cooled, place it in the oven and bake for more time.
Flavor Options
The good part about this recipe is that you can make so many variations of it.
Chocolate Chip Biscotti: add 3/4 cup of chocolate chips to the dough. Orange Cardamom Biscotti: add 3/4 teaspoon cardamom powder and then zest of 2 medium oranges to the dough. You can skip the almonds to keep it plain. Pistachio Cranberry Biscotti: this combination is popular around the holidays. Add 1/2 cup pistachios and 1/2 cup dried cranberries to the dough.
And there’s so much more! You can add different spices, flavor and make countless variations using the same base eggless biscotti recipe.
