Health and fertility benefits of Walnut Biscotti

Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Walnuts are low on the glycemic index. What’s more, they also lower the glycemic index of other foods that you eat in conjunction with these nuts. Any kind of nuts provide a healthy source of fat and a great way to encourage PCOS weight loss.

Ingredients

4 eggs
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon anise extract
1 teaspoon black walnut extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
5 cups all-purpose flour
4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Stir together flour and baking powder and set aside.
Beat together eggs and sugar in a large bowl until well blended. Stir in butter, extracts, black walnut flavoring and the walnuts. Gradually stir flour mixture into creamed mixture blending well.
Divide dough on a floured surface into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 14 inch rope.
Place four ropes about 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake in a 325 degree F (165 degree C) oven for approximately 20 minutes, until bottoms are pale gold in color.
Let cool about 2 minutes on the baking sheet then cut each rope on a diagonal into slices 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Lay slices close together on sides and bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until lightly toasted (approximately 15 minutes). Cool on baking sheet. Store airtight.
