sunflower biscotti

Biscotti are one of those things I never really realized I liked... and now I make them all the time! I think this version is John's favorite. I love it because sunflower seeds are super cheep and don't take any extra time to chop up since they are already small :) I made this version using 1 egg and 1 flax egg, next time I'm making it with 2 flax eggs!


In case you don't know, a flax egg is amazing. Basically take 1 Tbs of milled flax seed and mix it with 3 Tbs of water. It works as a great binding agent and adds some amazing health benefits!
