My husband's insulin dependent (diabetic) & I'm always looking at ways to cut down on carbs so he can enjoy something sweet with his coffee. You can substitute the Splenda (artificial sweetener) with regular sugar - the results are the same.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine:
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup Splenda (or regular sugar)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup golden raisins
Mix well - set aside.
In another small bowl, beat:
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 Tblsp. melted butter
Combine both wet & dry ingredients and knead until thoroughly mixed. On a parchment lined baking sheet, place the dough - which has been rolled into a 10" cylinder - flatten it into a long regtangle (approx. 12" x 3" x 1/3" high). Bake for 22 minutes or until it begins to become golden. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees. Slice the biscotti dough into 1/2" pcs. & lay onto the baking sheet - return to the oven and bake another 20 minutes.
