    I am not sure what is wrong with me! I love biscotti, buy gluten free biscotti from our favorite local coffee place all of the time, but I have never made my own glute free biscotti from scratch.

    Has this happened to you? There is a food you love, but it just never occurs to you make it for yourself. Here I am kicking myself...there are so many flavor possibilities to now try!

    If you love biscotti, this gluten free biscotti with chocolate chips is also delicious!

    Why this recipe is great:

    This is the ultimate gluten free holiday biscotti recipe. I used candied ginger white and combined this with white chocolate. These flavors taste so good in my coffee, I confess I indulged a bit too much on these. Even better? You can make this biscotti and enjoy it in about 30 minutes!

    Tip, if you are at all like me and Mr. Fearless Dining, I highly suggest you make a double batch because this recipe only makes 8 pieces total...and wow those don't last very long!

    And if you love candied ginger, check out this recipe for this Gluten Free Maple Ginger Butternut Squash Tart!

    Ingredient notes:

    • Gluten free flour blend - I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF, Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend, and Authentic Foods Multi Blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
    • Xanthan gum - If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
    • Candied ginger - You can buy it in large chunks or smaller pieces. You can use either, depending on how much ginger flavor you want.

    Fun swaps:

    Add in your favorite mix-ins for a variety of flavors.

    • Instead of candied ginger, try dried cranberries, chocolate chips or heath candy bits.
    • Try adding nuts like walnuts or pecans
    • Instead of drizzling white chocolate over the biscotti, you can dip it in the white chocolate...or enjoy it plain.

    Recipe step by step directions:

    Step 1: In a large bowl, add your dry ingredients and whisk to blend.

    Step 2: In a smaller bowl, add the wet ingredients and whisk to blend.

    Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and add your mix-ins. Mix well.

    Step 4: Note the consistency of the biscotti dough.

    Step 5: Flatten the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and place on parchment paper. Bake at 350º F.

    Step 6: Halfway through baking, cut the biscotti, flip each piece onto its side, and resume baking for 10 minutes. Flip again to bake the other side for 5 minutes.

    Step 7: Allow cooling. Your biscotti should be pretty crisp and crunchy. If you are going to drizzle melted white chocolate, do it when your biscotti is cooled.

    Tips and Recipe FAQ:

    What white chocolate is best for melting?

    I like to use Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers, but most gluten free white chocolate chips will work.

    How long will this biscotti keep?

    This biscotti will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

    Can you make this biscotti without the candied ginger?

    You can make this biscotti with any mix-ins you like!

        Hi Sandra, I haven't tried applesauce in this recipe so I am unable to say if it would work.

      I've never tried combining candied ginger and white chocolate, but it sounds like a great combo! Gotta save this recipe for the holidays! 🙂

      I do that too! Only because I am afraid mine won't come out as good and I will be disappointed. These look great and I will definitely have to make three batches:)
