A delightful treat that combines the warm flavors of pumpkin spice with the rich sweetness of chocolate, perfect for dipping in coffee or tea.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the brown sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten the tops slightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm and lightly golden. Let cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer the logs to a cutting board and slice diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces.
- Place the sliced biscotti back on the baking sheet, cut side down, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
- Biscotti freeze well for up to three months; thaw at room temperature or warm in the oven.
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water.
