Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti

I was flicking through a "Christmas special" food magazine and came across a recipe for delicious cranberry pistachio biscottis. Personally, I've never made biscottis before and I wanted to see if I could make a healthy version. This is how it turned out - they're super yummy! Dip them in a hot cacao. Happy Christmas!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups gluten-free plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¾ cup xylitol
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup dried cranberries
• ½ cup pistachio kernels

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180C
2. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
3. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and xylitol together in a bowl.
4. In separate bowl whisk together eggs and vanilla extract.
5. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir to combine. Add cranberries and pistachios and mix well.
6. Shape mixture into a flat log and lay on prepared baking tray. Bake for 25 mins, then remove from oven and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
7. Slice into 1-centimetre-thick slices then arrange slices on baking tray and cook for a further 10 minutes per side or until golden.
8. Remove from oven and cool completely
