Suprised at how easy it was to make and how yummy it turned out! No oil or butter, just perfect crispy delicious biscotti. Tweaked it a bit, kept the steel cut oats and put wheat flour and millet flour instead of oatmeal. Used brown sugar instead of honey. Came out perfectly! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
You’re welcome – sounds like a great adaptation!
Love these!! Made them today! I used dried cherries, and instead of all the nuts, my husband’s all allergic, I used seeds, sunflower, sesame, poppy flaxseed, pumpkin seed, you name it they came out great!
Sounds great Diane – thanks for the suggestions!
I followed the recipe but the batter was so wet, I couldn’t possibly form it into logs. I had to add more oats and about half a cup of flour. That worked ok, plus a bit longer baking. Very good!
Thanks for your feedback Irene – glad you were able to get the recipe to work.
Could I use flax eggs and sub date paste for the honey??
Without testing it ourselves, I’d only be guessing. Sorry I can be more help – we don’t cook with flax eggs at all.
