    On weekends, I like to linger over a cup of coffee. Nothing makes these moments more luxurious than a sweet nibble. This Keto Biscotti is absolutely magical, elevating any quiet moment to something special. This low carb treat is one of the best ways I know to spoil yourself at home!

    As a busy mom of three, quiet moments are rare. When I get them, I like to make the most of them.

    Is there anything better than a cup of coffee, some alone time, and a sweet treat? I don't know, but I know that since this Keto Biscotti came into my life, stealing a quiet moment feels just a touch more luxurious.

    If your life is crazy like mine - and I am guessing it is - you need this Keto Biscotti Recipe in your life!

    Ingredients for Making This Keto Biscotti Recipe

    • Almond Flour - Finely ground almond flour is a must. My go-to brand is Bob's Red Mill.
    • Oat Fiber - Oat fiber is an insoluble fiber with zero net carbs per serving. It is a great way to improve the structure of keto-friendly baked goods.
    • Baking Powder - Any brand of baking powder you like works well here. I prefer to use one that is corn-free, but regardless the carbohydrates added from the baking powder is minimal.
    • Xanthan Gum - This adds structure to the almond flour cookies and helps hold them together in the absence of gluten. I do not recommend omitting it. I keep mine in the freezer, where it will last for several years.
    • Sea Salt - I use finely ground sea salt; any salt you like works.
    • Butter - Make sure your butter is softened and not melted.
    • Swerve Confectioner's - This is what I tested the recipe with. You can use any low carb sweetener that you like, but the texture and sweetness level may be slightly different.
    • Egg - Use a large egg here.
    • Vanilla Extract - Use the best quality you can.
    • Pecans - Any chopped keto-friendly nut will work here. I used pecans because I love them, and they are one of the lowest carb nuts.
    • Chocolate Chips - Lily's, sweetened with stevia, is my go-to brand.

    Tips & Tricks

    • You must use finely ground blanched almond flour to make Low Carb Biscotti! Almond flour and almond meal are not the same thing. Likewise, not all almond flour is finely ground.
    • Xanthan gum is optional but holds everything together. If you skip it, you can expect your Keto Biscotti to crumble a bit more than it would otherwise.
    • For a firmer biscotti, allow it to dry out a bit more as the oven cools. Cover if necessary to prevent browning.
    • Cool completely to prevent breaking - these fall apart when warm. Don't attempt to dip in chocolate when they are at all warm.
    • Cut with a SHARP serrated knife for best results.
