The Biscotti is an Italian cookie with a crunchy, elongated and dry shape. These cookies are typically twice-baked, making them hard and crunchy. The Pumpkin Pecan Biscotti is a fall-inspired variant of the traditional biscotti. Pecans are the perfect nuts to add a nutty crunch to biscotti, and the addition of pumpkin brings a slight sweetness that goes perfectly with roasted pecans. These biscotti often make their way into winter holiday gatherings, so why don’t you impress your guests with this easy and tasty recipe?

1.Preheat the oven to 350℉/180℃.
2.In a large mixing bowl, stir all-purpose flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger together.
3.Beat the eggs in another bowl and mix in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
4.Combine dry and wet ingredients and fold everything together.
5.Add the chopped pecans to the dough and mix well.
6.Cut the dough in half and make 2 logs of equal size on a parchment lined baking sheet.
7.Flatten out each log with a fork to make it 1/2 inch thick.
8.Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is slightly golden.
9.Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 325℉/160℃.
10.Wait for the biscotti to cool down and slice each loaf into 1/2 inch pieces (approximately 15 per loaf).
11.Place each slice back onto the baking sheet and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until brown and crispy.

PROS

The Pumpkin Pecan Biscotti is a delicious fall-inspired treat that is firm enough to dunk in your coffee and is perfect for the holiday season.
The nutty and earthy flavors of the pecans pair well with the pumpkin, making it a sweet and savory treat.
It’s also a great way to use up leftover pumpkins.

CONS

Biscotti can be quite dry and hard, so they may not be a preferred pastry for everyone.
Since they are twice-baked, they tend to lose their softer texture.
Additionally, these biscotti are quite high in carbohydrates and sugar.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Pumpkin is rich in antioxidants, like beta-carotene, which may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases. It also contains vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, potassium, and zinc. Pecans are high in healthy unsaturated fats and fiber, which can help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) levels.
