Hazelnut Ginger Biscotti

May 22, 2016 By Garden Fresh Foodie

Close Up of Ginger Hazelnut Biscotti

I just made these biscotti, along with my chocolate macadamia nut biscotti, for an upcoming brunch I’m hosting.  They’re gingery, lemony, and yummy all wrapped up in several bites! What’s better (and a good thing so you don’t eat them all), they freeze really well! I doubled the batch, as well as the chocolate biscotti, and froze them. Cross one more thing off the list, that’s how I roll!Gluten Free Ginger Hazelnut Biscotti with Chocolate Macadamia Nut Biscotti

Crystallized ginger, which I use in this recipe, can probably be found at your local grocery store, or on Amazon. I used Reed’s Crystalized Ginger, made with raw cane sugar. It’s addition, gives a little sweetness, with that powerful, slightly spicy taste of ginger. You can use whichever kind of nut you like in this recipe, or omit them to make these nut-free. I would add in some fruit sweetened craisins or dried cherries to compensate for the lack of nuts. Plus, they’ll add a pretty red color!

Biscotti means twice baked. To make sure you have the crunch these babies are famous for, be sure to slice them and re-bake until they get a little crisp (not burnt!). Because these are made with oat flour, they remain a little bit more chewy that a standard white flour recipe. But…no processed white flours or sugars here! I make my own oat flour by tossing oats into my Vitamix and blending for all of 20 seconds. But, if you don’t want to do that, you can purchase Bob’s Red Mill gluten free oat flour in a 4 pack on Amazon here, which is much cheaper than buying the flour 1 bag at a time. I always recommend weighing your flours, as they don’t all weigh the same.
