Description

Soft biscotti loaded with banana and dark chocolate.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups White Sugar
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Butter, Softened
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • 2 whole Large Bananas
  • 3 cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • ½ cups Oats
  • 3 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ cups Dark Chocolate, Chopped Into Bits

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 2 large baking sheets.

Beat sugars and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with a spoon. Beat in banana, vanilla and eggs until smooth. Stir in flour, oats, baking powder and salt. Blend in chocolate bits.

Divide dough in half. The dough is going to be sticky, so make sure that the counter is floured, and your hands are greased. Shape each half into a log, and place each log on a greased baking sheet.

Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes.

Cut across into 1/2-inch to 1-inch slices. I like my biscotti thick and soft. You can adjust this according to how you prefer your biscotti!

Turn slices cut side down on cookie sheet. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown and dry on top. Turn cookies. Bake about 5 minutes longer or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to a wire rack.

And of course, enjoy!

hello milkwithknives!!
i don’t think that would destroy the texture at all. a 1/2 cup of butter should suffice with the extra banana substituting, like you said. try it out!! and then please let me know how it turns out!!

Saved! My husb loves cookies and biscotti, so I’ll definitely be making a pan of these. One thing though, I worry about cholesterol and would like to cut the butter in half and sub an extra banana. Have you (or anyone) ever tried this? I’d hate to destroy the texture of the biscotti.
