Banana Nut Biscotti Recipe

Ingredients
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mashed bananas (about 1 banana)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/3 cup toasted pecans or walnuts

Hardware
Whisk
Large bowl
Medium Bowl
Cookie sheet
Cooking Spray

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2: Coat cookie sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
Step 3: In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Step 4: In medium bowl, combine mashed banana, oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
Step 5: Pour banana mixture into dry mixture along with nuts, stir together.
Step 6: Flour a working area, and turn dough out onto it.
Step 7: Form two 7-inch logs about 2 inches in diameter.
Step 8: Put logs onto prepared cookie sheet.
Step 9: Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and turn temperature down to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C).
Step 10: Remove logs from cookie sheet and let cool 10 minutes.
Step 11: Cut logs into 1/2-inch slices along the bias (at an angle), return slices to cookie sheet.
Step 11: Bake biscotti for an additional 18-20 minutes.

Note: toasting nuts brings out their flavor and makes them crisp. It is easy to do. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place nuts, in a single layer, on an ungreased baking sheet or pizza pan. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring halfway through baking time, or until nuts become fragrant and are lightly browned. (Watch nuts closely to prevent burning.) Cool nuts completely before chopping and adding to recipe.
