I just saw "Everyday Food" on PBS and I loved this breakfast biscotti recipe. I immediately tried it, and it tasted great.
"Biscotti" means "double baked". A few good things about this recipe:
- No Butter
- Only 1/3rd cup of Sugar
- Very healthy as it has walnuts and raisins
- You can make it and store for a few days
- You can also make it to take along (to work/ travels) as a snack
The best part is that you use very little sugar, and no butter.. Sounds good right.. let's get into the details now..

Optional ingredients in place of raisins:
Cranberries - 1/4 cup
