Ingredients
- 5 cups whole wheat flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups pureed ripe bananas
- 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
- 2 -3 tablespoons brown sugar, to taste (optional)
- water
- 1 egg, for egg wash
- 1 cup rolled oats (NOT quick oats)
Method
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
- Have a non-stick baking sheet ready.
- Combine the whole wheat flour and baking soda in a mixing bowl.
- Stir in the egg, vegetable oil, banana puree and maple extract until the mixture becomes lumpy.
- Incorporate water one teaspoon at a time until you achieve a dough you can handle.
- Knead the dough by hand on a clean surface to ensure it is fully combined.
- Shape the dough into two logs.
- Press the logs down until they measure 6-7-inches wide and 1-inch high.
- Brush each log with egg wash on all sides, then coat them thoroughly with the rolled oats.
- Transfer the oat-covered logs onto your ungreased, non-stick baking sheet.
- Bake the logs for 40 minutes.
- Take the sheet from the oven and allow the logs to cool for 10 minutes.
- Cut the biscotti into slices about 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick, or to your preferred width.
- Arrange all the slices back onto the baking sheets.
- Return them to the oven for a further 20 minutes, or until they turn golden and crisp.
- Once completely cooled, keep the treats in sealed bags or an airtight container.
