LOW CARB CANTUCCI
Since I posted Biscotti vs Cantucci, I've had a strong craving. I love both of them, but since I'm trying to avoid carbs and gluten, I haven't bought or made either.
Deciding to try my luck by substituting almond flour and Sukrin as a sweetener, I set about making a low carb version.
I assembled the ingredients. 2 cups almond flour, 1/4 cup Sukrin sweeter (you can use whatever sugar substitute) 1 tsp (aluminum free) baking powder, 2 eggs, 2 TSP coconut oil, 1 or 2 tsp almond extract.
Mix the almond flour, Sukrin, and baking powder, and eggs into a dough. Melt coconut oil and add almond extract into the dough.
Form into a flat loaf on a lined baking sheet.
Bake in a 425 degree oven for 20-30 minutes until brown.
Cool for 1 hour. Then slice carefully, put back onto baking sheet and bake in a 300 degree oven for 10-15 minutes until brown.
Let cool in oven with door open
Enjoy with Vin Santo dessert wine.
Boun Apetito!

Oh, yeah. I'll make some of this but I'll use the Biscotti method an account of I want caramel and pecans in mine! Another quality post right here @sunnieside!
CARRY ON!
Yeah, this recipe can be tweaked to make it any way you like! Lots of options! Just go with it! Thanks for reading and commenting. Your support is appreciated!
I am not familiar with this at all. Is a type of appetizer? Or .....?
Sounds simple enough but ours would likely be fully loaded with all the bad ingredients!
Cantucci is a form of Italian cookie. Very crispy and crunchy.Most people like to use them for dunking. I just modified the original recipe and substituted things that would make it less "carby" gluten and sugar free. Feel free to use regular flour and sugar if you desire!
I like crispy crunchy. And, yeah, we go for the unhealthy version.
Thank you!
