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!

flax eggs? Interesting! I've never heard of them! Cool!
ReplyDeleteWhere's the sunflower seeds :-) I'm sure you just stir them in with the other dry ingredients, how much did you use?
ReplyDeleteI've never tried making my own biscotti, but I want to! This recipe sounds great.
ReplyDeleteThese look wonderful. This is my first visit to your blog. I stumbled here by chance and had intended only to say hello before moving on. I, instead, started reading your earlier posts and stayed far longer than I planned. I really like your blog and will be back as often as I can. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteThese look so good. I made biscottis a while ago, and ate one everyday they were so delish! I can't wait to make more!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great recipe. I love using flax instead of eggs in baking, it works like a charm!
ReplyDeleteCurra- I'm so glad you like making biscotti too!
ReplyDeleteJeanne- i know cool huh!?
Ashlie- HAHAHAHA 1/2 cup just added it in! whoops sorry about that!
brandi- totally give it a go they are so tasty!
Mary- thank you so much!! I'm so happy to hear you like it and had fun looking!!!!
kat- so glad you like them!
Jessie- i love flax eggs, seriously the best thing in baking :)
Please write your own cookbook! Youc oem up with some of the most interesting recipes. I would totally buy a copy.
ReplyDeleteBiscotti is one of those things on my list to make that I haven't yet attempted. Same with the flax egg. You're motivating me :)
ReplyDeleteI still haven't tried the flax-egg trick. I think I'm scared. I like flax and all, but one time I made some flax crackers and the flavor was overpowering. Not good.
ReplyDeleteThese biscotti, however, look yummy. I love their deep, dark color.
That flax egg trick is a new one to me. Can't wait to try it!
ReplyDelete(But I still hate biscotti..lol)
These are the healthiest biscotti I've ever seen! I'm dying to try the flax egg. I know you like Pad Thai - I posted my recipe - maybe you can put it to the test sometime!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the flax eggs.. can you basically do a 1:1 substitution for a real egg and does it change the flavor or consistency??
ReplyDeletesunshine- that would be a dream if I could!
ReplyDeletenatalie- go for it girl!
diva- you'd never know it was in there! you can't taste it at all this way :)
mags- HA
cinnamon girl- ooo can't wait to check it out!
Evan b- it is a 1 to 1 replacement and it doesn't change the taste or texture! I've used the sub in muffins too :)
I'm loving this healthy recipe idea for biscotti, and thanks for the "flax egg" tip too!
ReplyDeleteSounds easy enough, and pretty healthy too! I've been using a lot of sunflower seeds in savory dishes, so it might be fun to try them in sweeter things, too.
ReplyDeleteI saw that on the back of my bag of flax, and I was just wondering yesterday if it really worked because we were out of eggs and I was thinking of baking something. I chickened out... but now that I've read your post, I'll actually try it!
