Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup tapioca flour
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup organic palm shortening (this recipe used Spectrum)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp organic vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp orange zest
  • 1/2 cup mini refined sugar free chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Mix all dry ingredients (first 5 ingredients) together in a bowl. Using hands, break up the shortening into the dry ingredients. The shortening pieces should be no larger than pea sized.
  2. Whisk the eggs. Add vanilla and whisk again. Add the egg and vanilla mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Using a zesting tool, zest skin of one orange, then chop into fine pieces. (Alternatively, use a fine grater.) Stir in orange zest and chocolate chips. Mix thoroughly until it forms a dough. Break the dough into two pieces.
  3. Make two rectangular loaves that are 1 ½ to 2” thick on a parchment lined pan. Bake for 25 minutes.
  4. When finished, take biscotti loaves out of the oven and turn the oven heat down to 300°F. Let the loaves cool for 10 minutes.
  5. Cut loaves into 1/2” – 3/4” slices using a knife or dough cutter. You may get a cleaner cut by taking the tip of the knife or dough cutter to start the slice, then pressing straight down to finish the slice. There should be about 8 slices per loaf.
  6. Spread out the biscotti pieces on a pan and let cool for 15 more minutes. Then bake for another 25 minutes.
  7. When finished baking, carefully place biscotti on a cooling rack. Let cool completely.
  8. Store biscotti in a tin box or airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
