Raw Biscotti
Hi guys <3

Can’t wait to try this recipe myself!
Back to the drive and I’ll see ya in the morning!

Hey Fitnessista readers!
We are the twins, Lori and Michelle, from pure2raw. When Gina asked me to do a guest post, I was thrilled and honored. Lori and I have a fun holiday recipe and we hope you like it!!! I know Gina is a big fan of easy and delicious desserts! We had our fair share of desserts while at school together 😉 Lori and I love anything with chocolate, so we got to thinking…pecans are in season and coconut just pairs wonderfully with both…this no-bake chocolate pecan brownie biscotti (now that is a mouthful) was created! We shaped them like a biscotti for fun and because we just love anything resembling a biscotti. It is not dry like a traditional biscotti, but more rich like a brownie without being overly sweet. Pure2raw recipe: No-bake chocolate pecan biscotti cookies
- 2 cups pecans (whole pieces)
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes
- 1 cup cocoa
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
Directions: Place pecans, coconut flakes, cocoa, salt, and cinnamon into food processor, and pulse together to get small crumbs. Then add vanilla, coconut oil, and maple syrup. Pulse till combined. Spread batter onto cookie tray (parchment or wax paper will help prevent sticking) and shape into a biscotti log. Now here you can get creative and shape the dough anyway you like! Cut into strips. Place in fridge to set for a few hours. © 2010 Pure2raw Enjoy as is…or dip them into chocolate and roll in coconut flakes. No-bake chocolate pecan brownie biscotti make for a wonderful holiday gift 🙂
What is your favorite holiday cookie to make for others? What is your favorite holiday treat? Do you enjoy making new recipes every year or stick to tried and true recipes? Thank you again Gina for allowing us to share this recipe with you and your readers!!! We hope everyone enjoys our recipe 🙂 Happy holidays from our kitchen to yours. Stop by and say hello sometime!

oh yum…i’ll take the ones dipped in chocolate and rolled in coconut please and thank you!
These look so delish! I rarely like biscotti because it tends to be dry, but this looks unreal.
I always make the traditional cut out sugar cookies and decorate them every year but I like to try new recipes as well. So I am looking to make something extremely yummy this year! These look awesome!
Yay, some vegan holiday cookies- it’s been hard for me to find good recipes and these look amazing! I love making sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies since I love decorating them!
I love making my traditional recipes but always like to try new recipes. Maybe this is why my traditional list of recipes keeps getting bigger and bigger. Looks like the above recipe will be added to the list. Thank you.
Yum, I just made some chocolate biscotti at a class I took on Sunday, but these look phenomenal! I bet you don’t have the problem of them crumbling so easily and they look adorable all wrapped up!
Ooo those look awesome!!!thanks for sharing
Gina – hope your still having a wonderful roadtrip with the madre!
Oh yum, these look amazing! Love that you don’t have to bake them! Looks super easy to make!
These look awesome! As do all your recipes, Lori & Michelle! You know I am a huge fan and supporter of yours (and Gina’s!) and it’s awesome to see you posting here 🙂
I can hardly make the same thing twice (just too many NEW things I always want to make) so I mix up things from year to year, for sure.
Those look AMAZING! Sending lots of positive thoughts your way Gina. I know this hasn’t been the easiest holiday season but as always you handle everything with grace and fearlessness. Epic combo, lady 🙂
XOXO

These look awesome! My grandma makes almond biscotti that I’m in love with, but chocolate would be great!
Hope you’re having fun on the road trip Gina 🙂

I’ve never tried a raw dessert but those look delicious and I love the way you presented them. I’m getting so many good ideas for Holiday gifts!
Oooo sounds wonderful! Can you ship some to Texas? 🙂
Omg! I love biscotti and this is such a simple recipe 🙂 thanks Lori & Michelle!
These look delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe!!!
These look sooo good! Nice touch with the coconut flakes. I really LOVE desserts at Christmas time. My hubby makes a mean Chocolate chip cookie this time of year for everyone. That’s our go-to treat gift. BUT, this year I will be making Almond Roca…::crosses fingers::

Mmm these look wonderful! I am going to make them with carob. Thanks ladies!!

I made these tonight to give to my child’s Teacher! And well….there is only 1 left!! They were “that” incredibly yummy.
Bravo twins!!!
Fantastic guest post, the Biscotti look amazing!
I LOVE how this recipe doesn’t require a dehydrator! I totally thought it would when I first saw it. They look beautiful and I’d love to try the recipe!
This recipe sounds delicious! I tried to make biscotti last week but it turned out to be super hard and really bland tasting – even though it did look quite pretty! Gonna try this one for sure. 🙂

these sounds delicious! And conveniently, I think have everything on hand to make them! 🙂
omg… this looks ridiculously good. i’m going to the store to get ingredients ASAP!
Definitely going to have to give these a try! They look so decadent!
Looks great girlies! Great shots and beautiful presentation. Your recipe combines many of my favorite ingredients!
Ooh, I love the idea of dipping them in chocolate and coconut! 😀
Last year I gave my friends little goodie bags of gingerbread, shortbread, and sugar cookies. These would make an amazing addition to their gifts!
Mmmmmm….. they look sooo goood!!! I might just have to try them!
the biscotti looks delicious!! i am going to make them for my friends at work- if i want to give them on thursday, how soon do you think i can make them so they’ll be fresh??
