Prepare the Muesli and Bananas
Begin by placing the muesli into a large mixing bowl. Next, peel the bananas and mash them until smooth. Add the mashed banana into the bowl with the muesli. -
Combine the Ingredients
Mix the banana and muesli together using a spoon. Stir well to ensure the muesli is evenly coated with the banana, forming a sticky dough-like mixture. If you’d like to add dark chocolate chips for extra flavor, mix them in now, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. -
Shape the Cookies
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon, scoop out small amounts of the mixture and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently shape each mound into a round, compact cookie, making sure they are spaced out enough to prevent sticking during baking. -
Chill the Dough
To help the biscotti hold their shape during baking, place the baking sheet in the freezer for 5–10 minutes. This will firm up the dough and prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking. -
Bake the Biscotti
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for static heat or 160°C (320°F) for a fan-forced oven. Bake the biscotti for approximately 15 minutes. If you are using a fan-assisted oven, you may need to reduce the baking time to about 10 minutes, as it tends to cook the cookies faster. -
Let Cool and Serve
Once the biscotti are golden and slightly firm to the touch, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Once cool enough to handle, transfer the biscotti to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. -
