Finding My Way Back Into the Kitchen
It had been weeks since I’d measured flour instead of ounces of milk. Getting a few quiet hours back in the kitchen felt strange but so good. While my husband soaked up some baby bonding time, I got to bake, breathe, and rediscover a little bit of “me.”
Parenthood has already been a lesson in letting go of perfection and finding small rhythms that work for us. These Mocha Pecan Biscotti were my first bake since becoming a mom, and they turned out to be the perfect recipe to ease back in simple, cozy, and deeply satisfying.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Small batch — makes 6–8 mini biscotti, just enough for a few mornings.
- Snack-sized — crisp but not overly hard.
- Balanced — lightly sweet, with mocha depth and buttery pecans.
- Gluten-free + nutrient-rich — made with sprouted nuts, clean flour, and corn milk.
If you love cozy coffee pairings, my protein donut recipes are another quick bake that hit that same “sweet but balanced” spot.
Pumpkin Protein Donuts
A healthier take on a breakfast favorite, this Pumpkin Protein Donut has all the flavor, with less sugar and added protein. Enjoy them plain or add a little Nutella and cream cheese frosting drizzle to turn it into a late night snack.
Chocolate Protein Donuts
Every wanted a donut that was better for you? Trying to get more protein in your diet? Then these Chocolate Protein Donuts are topped with a chocolate glaze and have a cake like texture.
The Star Ingredients
- Mixed Up Foods “Mud Season” Crunchy Cacao Nib & Coffee Nut Butter → Adds bold mocha flavor and creamy texture. I ate a spoon full just before baking these its that good, you could even add it to toast or a croissant, or make a fancy PB&J!
- Maïzly Corn Milk → Naturally sweet, plant-based milk that keeps the biscotti tender. Enjoy a cup of this with your biscotti if you’re not a coffee fan or add it as the creamer for your latte!
- Primal Palate Gluten Free Flour → Creates structure and crisp edges without gluten. Super easy to use, great texture, I love a good gluten free flour!
- Lark Ellen Farms Sprouted Pecans → Nutty crunch and extra nutrients. These sprouted pecans were the perfect addition, they’re also a great snack while baking and have just the right amount of crunch!
