Almond Brown Sugar Biscotti recipe

Very simple cookies sweetened with natural coconut sugar. Made with pumpkin seeds, which are very rich in magnesium (one of the most important minerals responsible for key physiological functions including the production of energy (ATP) in the body, correct heart function and proper bone and tooth formation). Cinnamon is well known for its ability to lower blood sugar levels, and is highly recommended for diabetics.
