Orange Spiced Spelt Biscotti
These Asian-inspired biscotti are a great accompaniment to a nice cup of Green Chai Tea.
Makes 24 Biscotti.


Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups spelt flour
1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons evaporated cane sugar
3 tablespoons egg whites (from 1 to 2 eggs)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 whole orange, zested and juiced


Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, coriander, and ginger. Set aside.

2. In another mixing bowl, blend together the egg whites, oil applesauce, orange zest and juice. Fold in the flour mixture with a plastic spatula.

3. Spray a nonstick baking tray with canola oil spray. Form the dough into 2 loaves, 2 to 3 inches wide. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes. Turn off the oven, remove the cookies, set the tray on a wire rack and cool 45 minutes.

4. Reheat the oven to 350°F. On a cutting board, cut the loaves into 1/2-inch slices (12 per loaf) and place on their sides on a clean nonstick baking tray. Bake 8 minutes. Cool and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
