THE GENMAICHA BISCOTTI

by the CAP Crew

2 cups gluten free oat flour (from about 2.5 cups rolled oats)

1 cup coconut flour

1/2 cup coconut flakes, toasted

3 tablespoons genmaicha, processed if coarse

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon himalayan pink salt

1 cup coconut oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 orange, zested + 1/4 cup juice

3/4 cup honey

Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Reserve. Heat coconut oil until melted and stir in vanilla, orange zest, juice and honey. Pour over dry ingredients and mix well.

Place dough on a parchment lined baking sheet in the shape of a rectangular log about 1” thick. Bake at 350º F for 15 minutes, remove from the oven. Reduce heat to 250º F. Gently cut dough log across into biscotti-sized pieces. Make sure to cut all the way through. Carefully flip each biscotti on its side and return to the oven (once it is pre-heated). Bake for an additional 15 minutes. Allow to cool.

Enjoy!

Alternatively, you can dehydrate at 125º F for 18-24 hours. In this case, slice the dough into biscotti-sized pieces before you put it in the dehydrator.
