I’m really into biscotti these days. For one thing it’s so easy to make and for another it satisfies my craving for cookies.
Usually by mid afternoon I need a little pick me up so lately I grab a cup of coffee and a piece of biscotti and head out to the porch (if it’s warm enough). I love the peace and solitude, not to mention the caffeine and sweets!
However with this maple walnut low carb biscotti I don’t feel guilty about it. Not only is it gluten free, it only has 2.2g net carbs and is sugar free!
Recipe Ingredients I Used.
You only need a few ingredients to make his gluten free biscotti and they are almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, sweetener, eggs, maple extract and melted butter.
How To Make Maple Walnut Keto Biscotti.
Now let’s make some biscotti. This is very easy to make but it does take some time to because you have to bake it low and slow to get it nice and crunchy.
- Start by mixing the wet ingredients (eggs, melted butter and maple extract) in a bowl. mix
- In a separate bowl mix the almond flour, sweetener, coconut flour and baking powder.
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients together and then the walnuts to make a dough. It should be the consistency of cookie dough.
- Use a silicone mat or a piece of parchment paper and place that on a cookie sheet. Form the dough into a long, flat log shape.
- Bake in a 300°F oven for 22-25 minutes until it’s lightly browned.
- Next take it out of the oven but don’t turn the oven off. You are not done yet! Wait for about 30 minutes then slice the biscotti using a straight edge knife and just press straight down so it won’t crumble.
- Turn then on their sides and bake another 10 minutes. Flip them and bake another 10 minutes.
- Lastly turn off the oven and let them sit in there for at least an hour to get them hard and crunchy.
So this is how I treat myself in the afternoon. A nice cup of coffee or tea and a sugar free, gluten free biscotti.

This was the first recipe of biscotti that I tried and I liked it very much. I tried one from another site that I really like her recipes too, but nothing beats your recipe. WOW! I absolutely love it. Thank you so much.
Denise
Hi Elaine, I’m so glad you liked it! You made my day today!
Sharon
This was good! I’m very appreciative that you put the amount sugar to be replaced but the sweetener I use is concentrated. I also made a batch replacing the walnuts with almonds and the maple with almond extract and they worked well. The dough was a little wet for me but I added a tablespoon of ground flax seed and that helped. Thanks for the recipe!
Denise
Hi Sharon,
Thanks for sharing your tips! I’m glad you were able to make it work for you. I’ll have to try the almond flavor next time. And thanks for coming back to comment!

Jersey Girl Cooks
These look perfect with a cup of coffee. And I think I need to try your blender coffee tip with this creamer.
Denise
Thanks I was really pleased with them!
Constance | Cosmopolitan Cornbread
Oh my! Those look fantastic. Biscotti are such fun cookies and so perfect with a cup of coffee. Maple and walnut go so well together too.
Denise
Yes, I’m kind of on a maple kick lately. I love maple and walnut together myself.
Janice
Can a liquid sweetener such as honey or shave be used? I don’t care for erythritol or stevia. Thanks
Denise
Hi Janice, yes you can use honey or agave. I made this recipe with honey in one of my Meyer lemon and ginger biscotti. I used 3 tablespoons of honey for those. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Jana
Sorry, but these were horrible. Followed the recipe to a T and even made a second batch to see if I made a mistake. The mistake is they are not good.
Denise
Hi Jana, I’m sorry you didn’t like these. I have made these 5 or 6 times and here is what I can tell you. First of all they are a low carb baked good and they will not be like something that you buy in an Italian bakery. But that being said my family and I really liked them so I feel good about this recipe. You didn’t mention what the problem was but if they were crumbly, you would first want to check the sweetener. I used erythritol and had no problem. I also tried a brand that was a blend of stevia and erythritol and they worked fine. IF you are using either of these sweeteners and it was too crumbly you can try eliminating the coconut flour and see if that helps. I’ve made them with butter instead of coconut oil and that works too. If they are not crunchy enough, bake them a bit longer and make sure to keep them in the oven after you turn it off until the oven has cooled down. If it’s just the taste well then I guess this recipe is not for you and I’m sorry you didn’t like them but everyone has different tastes. If you have any questions please let me know.
Maria
I would like to make these, but was wondering if you left an ingredient out? You said you put butter or coconut oil, but how much?
Denise
Hi Maria, thank you so much for pointing that out. I’ve fixed the recipe. I did have the butter in my recipe app but lost it somehow. It’s fixed. Please let me know if you have any questions.
JC
No dairy? Is an egg not dairy??
Denise
No eggs are not a dairy product. From what I’ve read, something is considered dairy if it is produced from the milk of mammals such as cows or goats.
Kathryn
Why not use maple sugar and a nut flavoring, such as almond, or vanilla? Maple sugar equates to white. There are no liquids to reduce so maple syrup can’t be used. Once the biscotti is finished, a maple glaze or icing can be made to drizzle or spread on the biscotti tops. I use dark amber true maple syrup for baking and frostings.
Denise
Thanks for the input Kathryn!
Pat Ortkiese

Denise
I hope you do and I hope you like it as much as I do!
Helene D'Souza
I was thinking of making biscotti earlier. Looks like it’s a sign. I have walnuts at home. What could I substitute with maple essence?
Denise
You could substitute maple syrup instead of the sweetener and extract. I’m not sure what the conversion would be but I would look up how much maple syrup is equivalent to 1/2 cup of sugar. It wouldn’t be low carb but if you don’t care about that the syrup will work like a charm.
Lisa
Denise I think the dough would be too wet if you used the maple syrup for the sugar….
Denise
Well maybe just a bit of maple syrup for the flavor and cut down on the sweetener? To be honest the extract is used for the flavor and not sweetness and I can’t think of another substitute. I’m sorry. However with a little experimenting you might be able to use like a tablespoon of maple sugar and 1/4cup sweetener? Maybe someone will chime in with an answer.
Dannii
I really need to try making biscotti myself. The maple syrup in it sounds great.
Denise
Thanks Dannii …. it’s maple extract though just so you know. It like vanilla extract only maple and I’ve seen it at Walmart. Not sure where overseas they’d have it.
Julia @ HappyFoods Tube
I love biscotti! These look delicious. I haven’t tried making them with coconut flour. Will definitely try it out! Yum!
Denise
There is only a little coconut flour but I think it adds to the crunchiness.
