Nutella Biscotti recipe – 90 calories


I love Nutella, so I thought this would be a great recipe to try… and I certainly wasn’t disappointed! These biscotti have a great flavor and are quite crunchy. You can also try using white chocolate chips instead of the regular ones for a nice visual effect.

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together the cocoa, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy.
4. Add the sugar and continue beating for about 2 minutes.
5. Stir in the Nutella.
6. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir until well combined.
