Every time I go to the Strip district in Pittsburgh I buy my father-in-law a big bag of biscotti ends from Enrico Biscotti. He just loves them (as do I), so I got to thinking I would try to make one that was more Paleo. That is I’d make it gluten free and use natural sugars like honey. I also wanted to use a few of my Meyer lemons that I also bought on that shopping trip. Oh the good things you can buy in the Strip district! So that is how I came up with this Paleo Meyer lemon ginger biscotti. What a great taste combination!

In case you didn’t know, a Meyer lemon is a cross between a traditional lemon and either a Mandarin or regular orange. They are typically smaller and less acidic and have a yellow-orange color to them. To learn more about the differences check out this article from one of my favorite cooking sites The Kitchn. This is the first time I’ve tried them and I’m hooked! They are only available November through March so when you see them, you have to snatch them up. My sister Patti is growing a dwarf Meyer lemon tree indoors and you can see that on her blog Hearth & Vine. She also has a tasty Meyer lemon vinaigrette you should try.

I was VERY please at how easy it is to make biscotti and how good they came out. I know I’ve said it a million times but I am not much of a baker and evidently you don’t need to be one to make biscotti! The almond flour worked like a charm. I also added a bit of coconut flour too. You just mix the wet ingredients in a large bowl and the dry in a separate bowl. Then mix together and form a flat football looking mound on a silicone mat or piece of parchment paper.

Then you bake until golden brown. Once they have cooled you cut them into pieces and turn them on their sides. Bake for 10 minutes per side and then turn off the oven. Once the oven has cooled down they will be nice and crunchy and perfect with a good cup of tea or coffee.

I have also made these with Truvia sweetener instead of honey and took out the coconut flour and they were great too if you want a sugar free cookie. I’m warning you now that I will be making a lot more of these in the future so if you have any flavor combinations you’d like me to try, let me know in the comments. Enjoy!

    This is the best Paleo biscotti recipe so far. The biscotti lost some crunchy texture by the next morning, so I put all of them in my food dehydrator for 30 min and the crispy texture returned. I now use desiccant packets to keep my Paleo desserts nice and crispy.

      Hi Veronika, Thanks for coming back and sharing your experience! What a brilliant idea bout the food dehydrator. I never would have thought to try that it will come in handy!

    These are so delicious! After making these I decided to take the basic recipe but vary the flavors. I did a lime-coconut which was so good and also an anise almond. I substituted a 1/4 cup Truvia in place of the honey and sal. My husband and I love these and are so happy to have these with our coffees. Thank you for such a tasty treat!
