Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently to combine, then fold in 1/2 cup chopped pecans until just incorporated.
  4. Step 4: Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a 12-inch long, 2-inch wide log on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes until firm to the touch.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes, then slice logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti. Place slices cut side down on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes until dry and crisp.
  6. Step 6: Cool completely before serving with coffee or tea.
