Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 tsp Baking powder
  • 3 Tbsp Avocado mashed (half a small avocado)
  • 1/3 Cup + 2 Tbsp Granulated sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 3/4 Cup White chocolate chips
  • 12 Mini candy canes crushed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the whole wheat pastry flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl,mash the avocado with a fork. Add in the sugar and beat with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla to the avocado mixture and beat until well combined.
  • Gradually stir the dry mixture into the avocado mixture just until moist and the dough comes together.
  • With floured hands, roll the dough into a log about 1/2 an inch tall and 11-12 inches long.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake the log for 20-23 minutes, until its is very lightly browned and the outside has a slight crust.
  • Transfer to awire rack, and let cool 5 minutes.
  • With a very sharp, serrated knife, cut the log diagonally in slices about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Lay the biscotti flat back on the tray and back an additional 12-15 minutes, flipping once. You want them to be nice and dry and crispy when they are done.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • While the biscotti are cooling, place the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for about 1 minute, stiring every 20 seconds, until the chips are melted.
  • Unwrap the candy canes, place them in a ziploc bag and bash them with a rolling pin (or your weapon of choice) until they are evenly broken into small pieces.
  • Once the biscotti are cool, dip them one at a time into the melted white chocolate, spreading evenly to cover half the cookie with the back of the spoon.
  • Sprinkle with broken pieces of candy cane. Repeat for remaining biscotti. (You may need to re-melt the white chocolate every so often.)
  • Devour!
