I love a little treat in the mornings – especially when it involves chocolate… and you can dip it in your coffee..!
This is something like a cross between a chocolate biscotti (without the almond) and a rusk:
[recipe title=”Dark Choc & Pecan Rusks” makes=”38-40 pieces” time=”2hrs” difficulty=”easy”]
You will need:
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbs + 1/2 cup coconut flour
2 tbs desiccated coconut
1/2 cup dried blueberries
1/2 cup dark chocolate bits
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
Mix everything together, press it into a lined shallow baking tray {approx 25x25cm} and bake at 180C / 350F for 35 minutes.
When the time is up, let it cool a bit, then slice it into rusk shapes or fingers.
Place it onto a wire rack, upside down, and return to the oven for another 90 minutes at 100C/ 210F.

Make these ASAP and HIDE them, trust me, they won’t last a day if you don’t!
This also makes a fab little low carb gift for a friend, all wrapped up in a pretty bag.
You’re welcome ;) x

The consistency is quite dry, but shouldn’t be crumbly, it should be more like a thick paste.
You have to press it into a lined pan very densely.
You can try adding a bit more buttermilk – just enough to get a pasty consistency.
Let me know if that worked?
