Vegan Gluten free chai spice almond biscotti!!!

Biscottis are basically Italian biscuits that originated in the tuscan city of Prato. These are usually oblong shaped, twice baked, dry, and crunchy biscuits best for your breakfast or evening tea time.

These are super easy to make and you will never go back to the store-bought ones. Totally customizable, you can make any flavor you want. The basic recipe remains the same with just the change in the flavor.

Since I always prefer a healthier alternative., I made these eggless biscotti with almond flour and coconut sugar. I added almonds that were in hand and chsi spice for that fall vibes .

These are definitely a great snack option, especially for kids to pack in their snack box or to give them as an after school snack. Since these days my daughter is attending an online school, she likes to munch on them during the break time. It keeps her filling and also very importantly there is no artificial preservative which I always stress to keep kids away from.

There are so many flavors that you can try...I choose the one which I have in my hand. With very minimal ingredients you can bake these healthy biscotti's at home and not have to depend on store-bought ones for snacks.!
