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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Make two rectangular loaves that are 1 ½ to 2” thick on a parchment lined pan. Bake for 25 minutes.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Spread out the biscotti pieces on a pan and let cool for 15 more minutes. Then bake for another 25 minutes.
  • When finished baking, carefully place biscotti on a cooling rack. Let cool completely.
  • Store biscotti in a tin box or airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes

Please note that letting the biscotti cool for the proper times is important for getting a crisp biscotti.
You can also freeze paleo orange chocolate chip biscotti, then let thaw on the counter (not in the airtight container) when you are ready to eat!
