Pistachio Almond Biscotti – Using Nasty Nut Milk Pulp

Mmm, mmm, mmm! Another concoction of gluten!

When the actual recipe looks so nasty, you must steal an image from a Starbucks employee on Pinterest to spray gold on it. I knew this one's a faker, Vani!

Food Babe’s Pistachio Almond Biscotti is a hilariously-awful idea Vani made up when her fridge filled up with an excess of decaying pistachio nut pulp from her previous vegan woo-milk lattes.

Let's see the freaking recipe!

~"The pure beauty of this recipe is that any nut pulp can be used. When I make almond milk next I plan to reverse the recipe by using almond pulp and whole toasted pistachios instead. The options are really endless. You could even add dried fruit! I might try chopped figs next time too – Mmmmm."~ from Vani's same article about this recipe

• pistachio pulp left over from making her pistachio milk (no quantity is mentioned; how much are we gonna use, Vani?)
• 2 cups spelt flour (you can also use whole wheat or oat flour) GLUTEN RIGHT ON THE SPOT!
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
