- Biscotti not quite your cup of tea? I have some other Nutella recipes you might like:
- 2 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup Nutella (OK, mine was really heaping)
- 1/3 cup toffee bits
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
