Ingredients
- Almond flour – A must to make this gluten-free almond biscotti recipe.
- Joy Filled Eats Sweetener – This is my go-to sweetener of choice for all my baking needs. You can also use coconut sugar, white sugar, or brown sugar.
- Baking powder – When added to the biscotti dough, it gives texture to the finished cookie.
- Salt – For added flavor.
- Salted butter – To add moisture to the recipe.
- Egg – Used as a binding agent for the wet and dry ingredients.
- Vanilla extract – For flavor.
- Sliced almonds – Used as a topping and mixed into the dough. For the best flavor toast them for 3-4 minutes at 350. Watch closely, they burn easily.

How to Make Almond Flour Biscotti
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Step One: Add the first seven ingredients into the food processor and pulse. This will make the dough into a ball.
Step Two: Add the sliced almonds and pulse a few times just to mix them in. You don’t want the completely chopped.
Step Three: The dough should be fully formed and ready.
Step Four: Press the dough into a log on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Put the pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Step Five: Take the dough out of the oven and cut it into 10 pieces. Press down with a big knife and wiggle the knife back and forth between the cut pieces so that there is a gap between them.
Step Six: Put the pan back into the oven and reduce the heat to 225 degrees. Bake for another 30-40 minutes. They will become golden brown. Let them cool completely, as they will firm as they cool.
Top Tip💡
You can prep the dough ahead of time and keep it in the fridge 1 day before baking it. If you do so, just let it warm up for about 30 minutes on the counter before baking the dough.

Keep the leftover biscotti in an airtight container with a tight-fitting lid. Keep them at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Common Questions
The texture of the gluten-free biscotti is actually quite fragile, so I recommend drizzling chocolate over the top of them.

Turned out great. I drizzled with low carb white chocolate, and stored them in the freezer. The texture was much more satisfying than regular keto cookies, in my opinion.
Amazing! Been making this recipe nonstop for several weeks now because I love them so much. 🥰 I also add anise!
