Keto, Low Carb, Sugar-Free Biscotti Recipe with Carbquik®

One of the things I thought I was going to have to give up when I reduced the sugar in my diet was baking. However, I’m learning to take low carb ingredients like Carbquik® and make sugar free baking fun. Today I am sharing a sugar-free biscotti recipe great for keto and low sugar diets.

Dream it.

When I first switched to a low-sugar diet, a company sold sugar-free biscotti in our local low-carb store. When that company closed, I was devastated, having a little crunchy treat with my afternoon coffee was a favourite part of my day.

I started researching sugar-free recipes and looked for the easiest low carb biscotti recipe I could find.  They all seemed very complicated. Then I discovered Carbquik flour and decided it was trying to master a sugar-free biscotti recipe.

Plan it.

Making Sugar Free Biscotti with Carbquik® and Carbalose®

What is Carbquik Flour?

Carbquik’s main ingredient is enzyme-enriched wheat. The Carbquik® and Carbalose® combination create a flour-like product with minimal carbohydrates. The promise is you can make almost any recipe calling for a baking mix, so from biscuits and pancakes to cookies and scones, there is much to create.

Low Carb Biscotti Recipe Tips

You can make plain biscotti flavoured with the almond extract, or you can add some nuts or sugar-free chocolate chip to the mix. My tip is first to prepare the dough and add your extras after you have divided the biscotti dough in two.

That way, you can make two different types of biscotti in one batch. Mix the sugar-free chocolate chips in with the dough and then form long rectangular log shapes. Ensure you spread these out on the baking sheet, as the log will expand in the oven when baking.

You will want to slice the two loaves while they are still slightly warm. Then place the slices onto the cookie sheet to dry off in the oven.
