Double Dark-Chocolate and Ginger Biscotti

 This recipe is so healthy and delicious

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg, plus 1 large egg yolk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
• 3 ounces dark chocolate, coarsely chopped (1/2 cup)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
   
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined; set aside. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg, egg yolk, and sugar until light and fluffy; beat in the vanilla and oil until well combined.
   
3. With the mixer on low, beat in dry ingredients until combined. Fold in walnuts, chocolate, and ginger with a rubber spatula (dough will be stiff).
   
4. With moistened hands shape the dough into 2 logs, each about 9 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide. Bake until set on top, about 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes in pan. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
   
5. Transfer logs to a cutting board and, with a serrated knife, cut each log on the diagonal into 16 slices, each 1/2 inch thick. Bake until crisp, about 20 minutes, turning the biscotti over midway through. Cool 5 minutes on a baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
   
   
   

Vegan Egg-Free Omelette

Vegan Egg-Free Omelet

(1 serving)

• 6 ounces (1/2 package) extra-firm tofu
• 1/3 cup soy milk (plus extra for batter consistency)
• 1 Tablespoon brown rice flour
• 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1 dash cayenne pepper

Remove tofu from package - draining all liquid. Place block on stacked paper towels. Gently press down on it with additional paper towels to remove excess liquid. Cut tofu into 5 or 6 blender-friendly pieces.

Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth. Tilt container to see if batter will slowly flow. If not, add additional soy milk by the Tablespoon until the batter is pourable. (Note: A fluffier, non-flowing batter is good for making Mock Scrambled Eggs, but it will break apart as an omelet.)

Place an 8-inch non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add about 1 Tablespoon of olive oil and swirl pan to coat (or spray generously with cooking spray).

Pour the "egg" batter into the pan. Spread the batter gently to completely coat the bottom.

This is a great time to prepare any omelet fillings (suggestions below).

Cover and cook omelet 6 to 8 minutes until the top appears dry. If the omelet doesn't move freely when shaking the pan, gently work a spatula underneath so it loosens from the pan.

Add toppings to the half of the omelet farthest away from the pan's handle.

To plate and flip, begin to slide the omelet onto a serving plate. When half of the omelet is on the plate, tilt the pan over so the omelet folds in half.
