These Double Chocolate Mocha Biscotti are egg-free and gluten-free. Because eggs are a main component of biscotti, I haven’t seen a lot, if any egg-free recipes, for this type of cookie. My favorite thing about these gluten-free biscotti, however, is how simple they are to make. Just throw everything in the food processor and you’re already halfway there.

- Remove from oven and allow to cool, set, and become crispy
- Serve
I want to give a hearty thank you to all of my readers! It’s so important to me to provide a space where people can be themselves and honestly share their opinions, even if they differ completely from mine. In all of my relationships I consider honesty the highest form of regard and respect. Of course, it’s always a bonus when a person communicates in a compassionate way (and somewhat easier to connect to the person) however, I still consider honesty the first priority.
I love writing healthy, organic, gluten-free recipes and it’s a very nice bonus to hear that so many people are enjoying them, benefiting from them and finding them useful. Thanks again to my wonderful readers!

Those look excellent, I love the dark chocolate chunks. There is a similar GF/vegan biscotti recipe in My Sweet Vegan, but I think it is apricot and almond (or something similar) rather than chocolate.

These look amazing. I suppose since I don’t drink coffee I am going to have to skooch over to the local cafe and ask them for a spoonful of their fairtrade organic espresso blend.

Elana these look like they are to die for!! I am such a chocoholic to begin with but then add the coffee and you have me hooked. Can’t wait try them. They look divine!

I ask you this with all the love in my heart… how in the heck do you manage to stay in such great shape AND make so many sweet treats all the time!!? I love to bake but I’m definitely a “one for the baking tray, one for the baker” kind of girl, so I’ve gotta keep it to a minimum!
I love biscotti, my Dad used to make them all the time when we were growing up. Thanks for another mouth watering recipe:)

Elana, you’re talking my language here!
There are few things that I really miss but biscottis happen to be one of them.
Since I don’t drink coffee, I will try using my roasted chestnut faux coffee and hopefully it’ll do the trick.
Your recipe seems pretty easy to adapt and create variations (with nuts, dried fruits…etc).
Thank You!

Hi Elana,
This looks wonderful! Thank you! We loved the last recipe. It was gone in a flash. My daughter was diagnosed with T1 Diabetes in Feb and your goodies allow her to be “normal”…whatever that means! I wanted to share with you a candy we made using your frosting…in a different way. Can you email me personally so I can share it. I wanted to share it with you before I posted it any where else! Thanks, the other Meagan =)

Interesting! Is it possible to swap the almond flour for almond meal or will that create the wrong texture for these?
CoconutGal says
Oh My Goodness!! I’m going to make these right now and experiment with a chocolate chip replacement… don’t know if they will look like biscotti’s without them but these sound too delicious not to try.
Thanks Elana :-)
Meagan says
I so agree with you Elena! Another marvelous recipe. This is the first biscotti that actually looks tempting to me! (Must be the chocolate factor). I look forward to trying it :)
