Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups gluten free flour blend *see note
  • ½ cup brown sugar or substitute coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder aluminum-free
  • teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
  • ¾ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted melted butter *see note
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  • In a standing mixer, add the wet ingredients and mix on low. Gradually turn up the speed to medium until the wet ingredients are creamy.
  • Turn the speed back to low and gradually add the dry ingredients 1/4 cup at a time. Keep on low so the flour doesn't go flying!
  • Remove the dough from the mixer and place on wax paper. 
  • Roll the dough to a rectangular shape about 1 to 1 1/4 inch thick. Use a knife to lightly make cut lines on the dough. (I made Christmas tree shaped cut lines.) Transfer from wax paper to parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  • Bake the biscotti for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and use a sharp knife to cut through each cut line.
  • Turn each slice of biscotti on its side and bake 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and flip to bake on the other side for another 8 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool in a cooling rack.
  • Decorate and enjoy!

Notes

  1. 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 in this recipe. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
  2. If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum, please add 3/4 teaspoon.
  3. To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the butter for vegan butter.
  4. This gluten free biscotti will keep up to 3 days in an airtight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.
  5. Variation: Dip the biscotti in melted white chocolate.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
