Peanut Butter Chocolate Biscotti

Ahhhh…. Peanut Butter Chocolate Biscotti, made healthier but still crazy delicious.  All you need is a cup of coffee, green tea or even a glass of milk  (almond, of course 😉 ) and you are good to go!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Biscotti

Today is a very special day for me.  In fact, I can’t believe my kids have to go to school today! Ok, I am exaggerating (slightly) but today really is the best day ever – Chocolate Peanut Butter Day!  I am proud to be a part of this special day of chocolate peanut butter recipes hosted by Carla of Chocolate Moosey and Miriam of Overtime Cook.  31 bloggers are sharing favorite chocolate peanut butter recipes, ranging from cookies and bars to scones and muffins. Follow the hashtag #chocPBday on social media and join us with your favorite chocolate and peanut butter recipes. Looking for recipes all in one place? Follow our Chocolate Peanut Butter Pinterest board where we will share all of these delicious recipes. We are also teaming up with OXO, King Arthur Flour, and Peanut Butter & Co. to bring you three fabulous prize packs.  If you love to bake, you don’t want to miss entering.   I wish I could enter!

So…back to this biscotti.  Peanut Butter with chocolate chips and chocolate drizzle on top.  I am in heaven.  And I made them healthier so there’s no guilt attached to these babies.  These have a bit more of a cookie texture than traditional crispy biscotti, but they are still amazing.  I suppose you don’t need to drizzle the chocolate on top, but why in the world would you do that?  Look how pretty it looks with my FAVORITE mug from Anthropologie…

Disclaimer: I cut these into 12 LARGE pieces, but you can definitely cut them smaller to control your portion sizes.  I may have gotten a tad bit carried away when I cut them.  They smelled so amazing I got a little excited.  It happens.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Biscotti

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour I used King Arthur Flour
  • 1/2 cup unrefined sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup ground flax
  • 3 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons very cold water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, chocolate chips and flax.
  3. Add eggs, vanilla, peanut butter, Greek yogurt and cold water, stirring until mixed well.
  4. Place dough onto floured surface and knead about 10 times or so until combined.
  5. Form dough into a log about 10 inches long and 3 inches wide.
  6. Place log onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, place tray on the counter to cool for 10 minutes.
  8. Slice log into 1/2 inch thick pieces diagonally (or larger if you are like me). Place cut side up on baking sheet and bake again for 5-8 minutes golden brown (edges will be darker).
  9. Place biscotti on wire rack to cool.
  10. Don't worry if they seem soft, biscotti will harden once they cool.

  4. I am a sweets junkie. And a little bit of a salt junkie. So anything that combines PB and chocolate is a good combo, in my opinion. Just a perfect blend! Throw in pretzel and caramel and I could pretty much live on that.

  14. I have a friend who makes biscotti all the time so I have never tried to make my own, but it’s about time I rectify that, Lauren. Your biscotti look wonderful!

  15. I’m making these tomorrow, Lauren! Peanut butter it’s my all time favorite thing! I’ve never made biscotti before, so I’m excited to try it! My favorite chocolate pb treat is plain Greek yogurt mixed with pb and chocolate chips! Delicious!

  21. Control my portions? Fuggedabout it! I love your big, chocolate drizzled biscotti. These look amazing! Even if I did cut them smaller, that just means I’ll have to eat more of them 😉 I love how healthy these are, Lauren (good call on the whole wheat flour, flax and greek yogurt). And I adore your beautiful cup ‘n saucer.

  24. I love homemade peanut butter cups made with chocolate pb. I freeze in mini cupcake tins, so it is easy to grab one anytime of the day.

  32. Personally, I think it takes a lot of self-control to cut these up into 12 pieces… I’d just keep them in one big log and pretend it’s a single serving. 🙂 I make biscotti on a fairly regular basis, so I have a feeling these will be going into the rotation sometime soon.
