I've made this one a few times and it is GREAT! I love that it is whole wheat. Once I added dark chocolate and almonds- sinfully good. The dough is hard to form because of no butter, but I do add olive oil to mine each time. Tastes great! Today, I am baking them up as lemon cranberry biscotti. We'll see how it goes!

I would have never thought that whole wheat biscotti could be so good. I initially replaced 1/2 cup of flour with 1/2 cup of ground almonds but I found myself adding in an extra 1/3 cup of flour while kneading. I also kneaded in 1/4 cup sliced almonds. I found the dough to be much more moist and sticky than most other biscotti recipes but that could be a result of using three extra large eggs. These will make an excellent accompaniment to my cup of hot chocolate tonight.
