How to Make Gluten-Free Chocolate Almond Biscotti
Wanna know the secret to excellent biscotti? The rest is pretty straightforward! The dough calls for pantry staples like coconut oil, cane sugar, and applesauce to form the base. Almond extract adds that signature almond flavor! (Though vanilla extract can be used in a pinch.) For dry ingredients, we combined brown rice flour for structure, almond flour for lightness and cakey flavor, and tapioca starch for binding and crunch. Baking powder keeps the biscotti light and provides a little rise. Last but not least, we added finely chopped chocolate, which contrasts perfectly with sea salt. Chocolate + salt = dream team. Form your dough into a log shape, bake, and let cool slightly. Slice into rectangles with a sharp knife, flip on their sides, and bake again until crisp and golden brown. Option to top with melted dark chocolate and toasted flaked almonds — and why wouldn’t you!? We hope you LOVE this chocolate chip almond biscotti!

Make a batch to leave out for Santa (yes, we still believe), share with family and friends this holiday season, or keep them all to yourself (no judgment, we know how good they are — embrace your inner Scrooge).
