Gluten-Free Chocolate Buckwheat Biscotti image

These biscotti have a crumbly texture when they emerge from the first baking, so allow the logs to cool and cut them carefully, about 1/2 inch thick (if you cut them too thin they can fall apart). Buckwheat flour is a great backdrop for the chocolate; it doesn't dominate but seems rather to show off the chocolate.

Time 2h

Yield 3 1/2 to 4 dozen biscotti

Number Of Ingredients 12

88 grams (approximately 3/4 cup) buckwheat flour
37 grams (approximately scant 1/3 cup) cornstarch (or omit cornstarch and use 125 grams total buckwheat flour)
120 grams (approximately 1 cup) almond flour
60 grams (approximately 1/2 cup) unsweetened cocoa
10 grams (2 teaspoons) instant espresso powder or coffee extract
10 grams (2 teaspoons) baking powder
4 grams (1/2 teaspoon) salt
55 grams (2 ounces) unsalted butter
125 grams (approximately 2/3 cup, tightly packed) organic brown sugar
110 grams (2 large) eggs
10 grams (2 teaspoons) vanilla extract
100 grams (1 cup) walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. In a medium bowl, mix together the buckwheat flour, cornstarch (if using), almond flour, cocoa, instant espresso powder (if using), baking powder and salt.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar for 2 minutes on medium speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beater with a rubber spatula and add the eggs, coffee extract (if using) and vanilla extract. Beat together for 1 to 2 minutes, until well blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beater. Add the flour mixture and beat at low speed until well blended. Add the walnuts and beat at low speed until mixed evenly through the dough.
  • Divide the dough and shape 2 wide, flat logs, about 10 inches long by 3 inches wide by 3/4 inch high. Make sure they are at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Place in the oven on the middle rack and bake 40 to 45 minutes, until dry, beginning to crack in the middle, and firm. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes or longer.
  • Place the logs on a cutting board and carefully cut into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place on two parchment-covered baking sheets and bake one sheet at a time in the middle of the oven until the slices are dry, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
