I am looking for recipes for biscotti without nuts. It seems that
every recipe I have found has almonds, walnuts, hazel nuts, etc.
Looking especially for any recipes that are chocolatey, lemony or
orange flavored. Thanks very much.

I should think you could use any recipe and leave out the nuts. My SO does
not like nuts of any kind in anything. I bake many things that call for
nuts and simply leave them out, or at least a portion for him. The results
are quite good.

Thanks, Minnie for the recipes.
Thanks, Wayne for the tip.
I'll have to try some of these after I finish baking all the
Christmas cookies!
