Time 1h50m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup chia seeds
1 cup hot water
½ cup raw sugar
½ cup olive oil
⅓ cup coffee-flavored liqueur (such as Kahlua®)
¼ cup water
¼ cup agave nectar
1 tablespoon lecithin
1 tablespoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups spelt flour
1 ½ cups cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup chocolate chips
½ cup pecans
½ cup cocoa nibs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Put chia seeds in a blender; add hot water. Let chia seeds soak in hot water for 5 minutes. Add sugar, olive oil, coffee-flavored liqueur, water, agave nectar, lecithin, almond extract, vanilla extract, and salt to chia seeds; blend on high speed until smooth.
  • Combine flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a bowl. Gradually stir the chia seed mixture into the flour mixture until dough is just mixed; fold in chocolate chips, pecans, and cocoa nibs.
  • Divide dough in half and spoon each half onto the prepared baking sheets forming two 2x12-inch logs using wet hands.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until logs are lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven and cool logs for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
  • Cut logs diagonally into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Lay slices on their sides on the parchment-lined baking sheets.
  • Bake in the oven until biscotti are dry, about 25 minutes.
