Loaded Biscotti (Grain-Free)

Ready for a hard truth? I am not much of a cookie fan. (Gasp!) Cookies are just not crunchy enough to do it for me.

But I love biscotti — there’s something about that firm, crunchy bite that gives way just enough to reveal the perfect balance between crispiness and a bit of crumbliness. These loaded biscotti are so on point: their taste, texture, and of course, the fact that they’re loaded with everything. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Yields 24 thick biscotti or 30 thin biscotti, as pictured

Easy Vegetarian Pescatarian Passover Parve

Contains: Egg, Tree nuts

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line one large or two standard baking sheets with Gefen Parchment Paper.

  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Add eggs, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. With a rubber spatula, mix until just combined.

  4. Fold in nuts, fruit, and chips. Do not overmix.

  5. Divide dough in half. With oiled hands, shape each half into a log on the prepared baking sheet. The dough will be rough and sticky. Make sure the logs are no more than half an inch thick. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, until they are golden brown and baked through.

  6. Remove the biscotti logs from the oven; allow them to cool on the baking sheet.

  7. Reduce oven heat to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

  8. When logs are cool enough to handle, gently cut the logs into one-inch-thick slices.

  9. Arrange cut biscotti on the baking sheet, cut-side down. Bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes or until they appear dry, turning after 10 minutes.

Notes:
Rorie’s Grain-Free Flour can be substituted with extra-fine almond flour combined with three tablespoons coconut flour. Texture will be stickier and results are denser when using almond flour/coconut flour variation. For a Mezonos option, not for Passover, use three cups Rorie's gluten-free oat bread mix.

For extra crispy biscotti, turn off oven, prop the door open, and leave biscotti in until the oven is completely cool. Remove the biscotti from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving or freezing.

Cooled biscotti can be dipped halfway in melted chocolate or drizzled with chocolate.

Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Biscotti are naturally dry and crisp, so room temperature is ideal. Freeze in an airtight container or bag for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

Hi can I substitute the avocado oil for something else like olive oil or the like?

We haven't tested it, but I imagine a light (olive) oil would work as a sub.

if you don't have gluten concerns can this be made with white whole wheat flour? or a white/whole wheat blend?

I made it both ways and the regular flour one came out very heavy and dense
