Ingredients
Biscotti
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 banana, mashed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder (I used Nestle special dark)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ⅓ cup chocolate chips
Salted Caramel Drizzle
  • 6 oz caramel candies
  • 1 tbs coarse sea salt
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 300 degrees.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine oil and sugar. Stir in the vanilla extract and mashed banana. Beat in the eggs. In another large bowl, combine the flour, salt, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until combined. With a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Form dough into a mound and divide it in half. Form each half into logs about 12 inches long and 2 inches high. Place them on one large or two lined baking sheets.
  4. Bake the logs for 35 minutes. Take them out and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Then, reduce the oven heat to 275 degrees.
  5. Cut each biscotti log on the diagnal into ¾ inch slices. Place the slices on the same lined baking sheet (s). Bake another 8-10 minutes until crispy. Cool on a baking rack.
  6. While biscotti is cooling, melt caramel over a double boiler or in microwave. Find detailed double boiler instructions here (step 5). Mix caramel until melted and smooth.
  7. Drizzle each biscotti slice with melted caramel and sprinkle with sea salt.
