EGG LESS OATS CHOCOLATE NUTELLA BISCOTTI - 300TH POST

Hi friends, today am very happy to post here and successfully am posting 300^th post. My blog 1.5 years old yet its too late to reach here. But very happy to touch here and healthily survive here with a lot of good friends through the blog baby. Thank you so much for all your supports, love and encouragements. Wish to continue forever. 

Coming to the recipe, actually for past few days I was thinking what to make for 300^th, thought to prepare some sweets but after immediate diwali, no one wants sweets... So next option is bakes, and its too sweet, isn't? Finally, I prepared the chocolate oats biscotti.

The biscotti recipe was suggested by +Priya  akka in Home Baker’s Challenge - HBC. She had given different varieties of biscotti and I chosen Egg less Oats Chocolate Biscotti. For past few HBC’s I couldn't make, so I do not wish to miss this month. I followed the exact method but I baked half quantity and used Nutella in place of melted chocolate. It was come out well.

Biscotti

Biscotti is the plural form of biscotto. The word originates from the latin word biscoctus, meaning "twice-cooked/baked". It defined oven baked goods that were twice, so they were very dry and could be stored for long periods of time (Wiki).
