Keeping Almond Flour Biscotti Fresh Longer

Storing your almond flour biscotti is a breeze. Once they’re completely cooled, transfer them to an airtight container. They can last for up to two weeks on your countertop. For longer storage, consider freezing the uncooked log, then slicing and baking directly from the freezer when you’re ready for a fresh batch! Always ensure that you practice safe food handling techniques.

Helpful Hints

Here are some tidbits to elevate your cookie-making experience:

• Make sure your almond flour is finely ground to avoid grittiness.
• If you want a richer almond flavor, soak your nuts in almond extract before using them.
• For extra sweetness, sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg into the dough.

Flavor Variations

Feel free to put your twist on this recipe! Some fun variations include:

• Adding dried fruits like cranberries or apricots for a chewy texture.
• Swapping almond extract for orange or lemon extract for a zesty kick.
• Incorporating spices like cardamom or anise for a unique flavor profile.

Your Questions Answered

How long does it take to prep and bake these biscotti?

The total time for preparation and baking is about 60-70 minutes, inclusive of cooling time.

Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?

You can, but this will no longer be a gluten-free treat. Almond flour adds unique flavor and texture that is hard to replicate with traditional wheat flour.

Can I store biscotti in the fridge?

It’s best to store biscotti at room temperature in an airtight container. Refrigeration can make them lose their crunchy texture.

These almond flour biscotti are a perfect balance of health and indulgence. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I do!
