How to make gluten free pumpkin biscotti:

Add your wet ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisk to blend. Do the same in a larger bowl with the dry ingredients.

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well. Tip: I often use my hands so the dough blends completely. You can also use a standing mixer to whip up your dough.

Your pumpkin biscotti dough will be a bit stiff.

Shape your dough into an oval on a piece of parchment paper. Bake at 350F degrees for 20 minutes.

Remove the biscotti from the oven and slice it. 

Turn the pieces on their side and bake an additional 10 minutes. If the biscotti isn’t hard (it will depend on how thickly you sliced your biscotti) you may want to flip it and bake on the other side an additional 5 minutes.

Optional Tips:

Yes, like most of my recipes, these tasty gluten free pumpkin biscotti’s can be adjusted to add even more flavor. Try some of these scrumptious variations.

• White chocolate chips – Drizzle melted white chocolate chips on the biscotti for a fun flavor.
• Caramel chips – Caramel with pumpkin…need I say more? Delicious!
• Nuts – Dip the biscotti in white chocolate then in crushed nuts of your choice. So good!

Why Are Biscotti So Hard?

If you have never had a biscotti before you might be surprised that they are hard and crunchy, biscotti are actually intended to be hard. They are perfect for dipping into hot beverages like coffee, hot chocolate, or tea. Try them, and you are going to be addicted to them!

How Long Do Biscotti Keep?

Usually, these gluten free biscotti cookies will last around 1-2 weeks if they are kept in an airtight container. It’s essential to keep them away from any sort of moisture or steam. Otherwise, they will get soft and will spoil. 

Why Did My Biscotti Crumble?

If your gluten free biscotti crumbled after baking them, then you probably let it cool on the pan too long. You should only let them set a couple of minutes before cutting them. Always use a serrated knife and never let them cool for a long time before cutting. Otherwise, they will fall apart and be crumbly every time. 

Why Is My Biscotti Soft?

If your gluten free pumpkin biscotti is soft, then it’s probably due to not being baked long enough. You can always bake them a little longer than what the recipe says if you want them extra crunchy. Just don’t underbake them or they won’t be the typical biscotti texture everyone knows and loves. 

Can You Freeze Biscotti?

Yes, absolutely you can freeze biscotti cookies! Just keep them in a freezer bag or airtight container. They will last around 2-3 months in the freezer. To thaw, just remove from the freezer and set on counter until they have defrosted.
