Vanilla Almond Biscotti - No Sugar Added

Submitted by HeidiRenee

"Splenda is perfect for this recipe - noticed NO DIFFERNCE from the sugar - so good - and by not having the sugar my diabetic son can enjoy too! We use the Biscotti Pipe-n-Bake pan but I'm sure this recipe can be used for traditional biscotti too."

BEST BISCOTTI RECIPE IN THE WORLD, And SUGAR-FREE too! I’ve made this a gazillion times since I came across this year. Our family is trying to cut back on sugar and still indulge to keep out sweet tooth stated. I make it exactly as the recipe and add 1tsp almond essence along with handful of dried cranberries and sliced almonds. Turns of perfect every single time. Five stars!!!!!

I made these today and they turned out yummy. I omited the nuts and added cinnamon along with a few dried mixed berries. I am a diabetic 2 so I only added about 1/8 cup if that to half the batter. The other half I just added cinnamon and left them plain.

This recipe rocks, especially for being sugar-free! The biscotti were quick and easy to make. I am allergic to almonds so I used toasted pecans, yum! I also had to substitute whole wheat flour for health reasons, and they still turned out fantastic! Next time, I might melt an unsweetened chocolate bar with some splenda and dip the biscotti in that. Thanks!

Both of my parents love biscotti but due to diabetes it's been off limits. I've tried several different recipes and have received thumbs down on all. Until this one. Both my mother and father absolutely LOVE it. My last visit they were eating biscotti with morning coffee and again as a before bed snack. Flavorful and so light! Fantastic!
