What Makes These Biscotti Grain-Free?

Instead of using traditional wheat flour, this recipe uses almond flour as the base. Almond flour is naturally grain-free and gives the biscotti a rich, nutty flavor.

Because almond flour behaves differently from wheat flour, the texture of these biscotti is slightly more tender while still becoming crisp after the second bake.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Almond Flour

Almond flour is the grain-free base for this recipe. It gives the biscotti a naturally nutty flavor and helps create their tender, crisp texture.

Vegan Pumpkin Pie Protein Powder

Vegan pumpkin pie protein powder adds protein and plenty of seasonal pumpkin spice flavor. The original recipe uses pumpkin pie protein powder, so choose a variety that has the flavor profile you enjoy. You can also use Cinnamon Delight. Code healthyhelper saves on all PEScience products!

Nut Butter

Use a smooth, creamy nut butter for the best texture. I used mixed nut butter, but almond butter, cashew butter, or another creamy nut butter can also work.

Pumpkin Puree

Pumpkin puree adds moisture and real pumpkin flavor. Be sure to use pure pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling.

Date Syrup

Date syrup adds sweetness and complements the pumpkin and cinnamon flavors. Maple syrup can also be used.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon adds warmth and brings out the pumpkin spice flavor.

Pumpkin Seeds

Chopped raw pumpkin seeds add a delicious crunchy topping and make these biscotti look extra festive.

How To Make Vegan Grain-Free Pumpkin Spice Biscotti

Make The Pumpkin Biscotti Dough

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine the smooth nut butter, pumpkin puree, and date syrup. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, vegan pumpkin pie protein powder, cinnamon, and baking powder.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a thick dough forms.

Shape The Biscotti

Divide the dough into two equal portions.

Shape each portion into a small rectangle and place both rectangles on your parchment-lined baking sheet.

Sprinkle the tops with chopped raw pumpkin seeds, gently pressing them into the dough if needed.

Bake The Biscotti

Bake the rectangles for 25 minutes.

Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for about 20 minutes. Once they have cooled enough to handle, slice each rectangle into pieces about 3/4-inch thick.

Arrange the slices cut side up on the baking sheet.

Bake The Biscotti A Second Time

Return the sliced biscotti to the oven and bake for another 12 minutes.

The second bake helps remove moisture and gives biscotti their signature crisp, crunchy texture.

Remove from the oven and allow the biscotti to cool completely before storing.

How To Store Pumpkin Spice Biscotti

Once completely cooled, store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Make sure they have cooled completely before placing them in the container. Storing them while they’re still warm can create condensation and soften their crisp texture.

What To Serve With Pumpkin Spice Biscotti

These pumpkin spice biscotti are made for dunking! Try serving them with:

• Coffee
• Espresso
• Pumpkin spice lattes
• Chai tea
• Black tea
• Hot chocolate
• Dairy-free lattes

They’re especially good with a warm pumpkin spice latte on a crisp fall morning.

Tips For Making Grain-Free Biscotti

Use Smooth Nut Butter

Smooth, creamy nut butter creates a more cohesive dough and makes the biscotti easier to shape.

Don’t Overbake The First Time

The first bake is primarily for setting and firming up the dough. The second bake is what helps develop the crispy biscotti texture.

Let The Dough Cool Before Slicing

Allow the baked rectangles to cool for about 20 minutes before slicing. This helps prevent them from crumbling.

Cool Completely Before Storing

The biscotti will continue to firm up as they cool. Give them plenty of time to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container.
