The Sicilian Way to Gluten Free Biscotti
I did not set out to bake a gluten free cookie. I set out to bake a real Sicilian biscotti the way my grandmother taught me more than 200 years ago through our family line. When you bake the Sicilian way with almond flour, cocoa, warm spice, and clean ingredients, gluten is not required. It was never part of the recipe.
The Sicilian Way With Almond Flour
In Sicily, almonds are part of the land and part of dessert. We used almond flour for flavor and texture long before gluten free was a trend. That is why our gluten free biscotti tastes like real food. Smooth chocolate, gentle anise, citrus when it belongs, and always a light finish of sea salt for balance.
Why Many Gluten Free Cookies Disappoint
Most gluten free cookies start from fear. Take out gluten, then plug the hole with starches, gums, and fillers. The result is sandy and flat. We do not “replace” flour. We build flavor from the ground up with ingredients that taste good on their own.
- Heavy gums and fillers that leave a pasty feel
- Excess starch that dulls cocoa and spice
- Artificial shortcuts that create a strange aftertaste
What we do instead:
- Lean on almond flour for natural body and aroma
- Use quality cocoa and true anise seed for warmth
- Season with a light touch of sea salt for a clean finish
Chocolate Anise Biscottini, Our Gluten Free Hero
This is the cookie that proves the point. Deep cocoa meets anise seed in a classic Italian pairing. The texture snaps, then softens just enough when you dunk it in espresso. Most people never realize it is gluten free until I tell them. That is how it should be.
