Casein Free Chocolate Biscotti (with or without Chips)

Carrie's Casein Free Chocolate Biscotti (with or without Chocolate Chips)

Note that this recipe is SIMILAR to my regular Biscotti but NOT THE SAME!!!
So please read thru ingredients... certain items are increased or taken out completely...

Mae and Rose love to eat them for breakfast soaked in Almond Milk. Or as a crunchy snack while outside playing (not recommended in the car - too crummy!).

Preheat Oven to 350 and set out two sheets of baking parchment paper

First you blend

1 1/2 Cup Soft Earth balance Butter

2 Cups Sugar
When blended, Add in

6 eggs

Then blend in

1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract

1/2 teaspoon Salt

2 Cups "Fiber" ( This picture is of dried coconut flakes and Oatmeal -but I used ground Oatmeal flour and Almond meal in this particular batch - you'll notice the white flecks of almonds in the final picture)

Blend in

2 Tablespoon Baking powder

3 Cups flour

2 Cups Cocoa Powder

1 Cup Chocolate Chips - Optional (I didn't use them in this particular batch)

Make 2 piles of dough on the parchment paper

Bake one at a time for 30 minutes. Then take out and carefully cut into slices and roll onto side (without breaking in half!)

(for pics of the cutting method - see my other Biscotti Recipe)

When done cutting place back into oven for 20 minutes.

Then VWALAA!! Here is the end result! Wait until they are cooled and hardened... usually overnight.
The more "stale" the better!
