Dairy-free and grain-free almond biscotti dipped in melted dark chocolate and topped with chopped almonds. No better snack for any day of the week!

This post was sponsored by Simple Mills. All opinions are my own.

A year ago, I wrote this post about my struggle to find balance after growing up enjoying tons of sweet, salty, carby, delicious foods in a Hispanic family. For a long time, I resented my roots for leading me down this path. This year, however, as I continue to learn more about my body and how certain foods make me feel, I’m slowly seeing the light at the end of this frustrating tunnel.

More on all that later (post coming soon!) but here’s the main thing I’ve learned thus far – you don’t have to give up all the foods you love! Yes, my friends, you can still have cookies and cake! In moderation, of course, and not everyday. And if possible, you recreate your favorite treats with wholesome ingredients like I did today!

I partnered with Simple Mills to make these dairy-free, grain-free dark chocolate-dipped almond biscotti using Simple Mills Pancake & Waffle Mix. I know right!? Like HOW?! That’s what I love most about Simple Mills. Their baking mixes are just so versatile, you can truly use them in so many ways. I made these coconut key lime pie bars earlier this year with their baking mixes too!

These dark chocolate-dipped almond biscotti are everything biscotti should be – crunchy, not to sweet, not too hard, and way easier to make than traditional biscotti. Can’t wait for you guys to try them!

No more ‘all or nothing’ mentality, guys. Let’s just focus on getting back to balance so we can enjoy the treats we love without the guilt.

So what are you waiting for?! Make them this week!

You can find Simple Mills Pancake & Waffle Mix at Target stores nationwide! In addition to baking mixes, the Simple Mills’ brand also carries a line of crackers, cookies and frostings. Click here for the store locator.
