- Heat the oven to 160°C (325°F) and line a large baking tray. Whisk the almond flour, Swerve, baking powder and a little salt in a bowl. 0:30
- Add the avocado oil, egg and maple extract and keep stirring until the dough holds together when you squeeze it. 0:58
- Work in the finely chopped walnuts. 1:49
- Gather the dough onto the tray and shape it into a low, flat log about 25 × 10 cm (10 × 4 in). Bake about 25 minutes, until slightly puffed and golden. 2:13
- Cool the log for 30 minutes, then cut 14–15 diagonal slices about 2 cm (3/4 in) thick with a large sharp knife, pressing straight down. 2:53
- Bake the slices at 120°C (250°F) for 30 minutes, then turn the oven off and leave them inside until cool and crisp. 3:28
- For the optional glaze, mix the powdered Swerve and maple extract with a little water until it drizzles, and drizzle over the biscotti. 3:45
Tip. Pecans or almonds can replace the walnuts, as the cook says. Avoid coconut oil, which makes them soft. If they aren't crunchy enough, bake a little longer.

Omega-3 Source17%
0.3 g a serve, mostly from walnuts (87%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Vitamin B122%
0 µg a serve, mostly from egg (100%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
Vitamin B62%
0 mg a serve, mostly from ground blanched almond flour (50%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
Vitamin A1%
5 µg a serve, mostly from egg (99%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Vitamin C0%
0 mg a serve, mostly from walnuts (100%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
Vitamin D0%
0.1 µg a serve, mostly from egg (100%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Vitamin K0%
0.1 µg a serve, mostly from walnuts (88%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
