Peanut Butter And Chocolate Biscotti Recipes

Steps:

• Position racks evenly in the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Melt the butter over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally. Continue to cook until the butter browns and gets a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl.
• Beat the eggs in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until light and pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar while beating. Then slowly add the butter and vanilla until evenly mixed, about 30 seconds more. Add the peanut butter and mix until combined.
• While mixing slowly, add the dry ingredients to the wet, in 2 additions, mixing just until absorbed. Fold in the peanuts and chocolate pieces.
• Divide the dough evenly into thirds and put each portion in the center of a baking sheet. Shape the dough with slightly wet hands into logs about 2-inches wide and 15 inches long. Bake until set and brown around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. (For even baking take care to rotate the pans--top to bottom and front to back--about half way though.) Cool logs on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes.
• Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Carefully transfer the logs to a cutting board. Cut logs crosswise, with a long serrated knife at about a 45 degree angle, into 1/2-inch thick cookies. Place cookies cut side down on the baking sheets. Bake until crisp, about 8 minutes. Flip the cookies over and bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes more. Cool biscotti on the baking sheets.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Mix the milk and vanilla extract together in a small bowl; set aside.
• Combine the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.
• Beat the peanut butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth.
• Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the peanut butter mixture before adding the next.
• Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing until just incorporated.
• Fold in the peanut butter chips; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
• Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
• Roll each section into a 4x5-inch rectangle about 1/2-inch thick.
• Transfer the dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until firm to the touch, about 25 minutes.
• Place biscotti loaves on wire racks to cool.
• Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Cut each loaf into 1/2-inch slices.
• Return the slices to the baking sheets with the cut sides up.
• Bake in the oven until biscotti are dry, about 10 minutes on each side.
• Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth, 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave).
• Dip the cooled biscotti into the melted chocolate. Set the biscotti onto parchment paper, and allow to set, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two 9x5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
• Combine bananas, cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl. Whisk until well blended, about 2 minutes. Gently fold in peanut butter chips. Divide batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Let bread cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove and finish cooling on a wire rack. Place a second cooling rack on top of a baking sheet.
• Slice loaves in half horizontally and then into 1-inch-thick pieces. Brush 1 side of each slice lightly with honey and place on the prepared cooling rack.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and crispy, about 40 minutes. Cool on the rack for at least 10 minutes; the biscotti will become crispier as they cool.

• In another medium bowl beat with electric mixer, beat sugar, peanut butter and vanilla until frothy, about 2 minutes. Make a well in center of dry ingredients and pour in egg mixture. Stir just until moistened and dough forms. Shape the dough into a 13- by 3- inch log on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Bake log 30 minutes and set aside for 10 minutes. Reduce oven to 300 degrees.
• Cut warm log crosswise on a slight diagonal into 1/2 inch thick slices, about an inch apart on baking sheet and return to oven for 12-15 minutes. Biscotti with be crisp when cooled.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Mix peanut butter and butter in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add sugar, cocoa powder and baking powder; beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until blended. Add flour; mix well. Stir in chocolate.

• Bake at 325F for 35 minutes.
• Remove roll from baking sheet and cool 10 minutes on a wire rack.
