It’s that sweet and cinnamony taste that we’re all obsessed with… BISCOFF! Sadly, a gluten-free version of the original biscuits or spread still isn’t available to buy. Since it’s such an amazing flavour to incorporate into baking (or slather on your toast!), I had to find a way to recreate a free from copy! This gluten-free Biscoff-inspired spread is smooth, indulgent and tastes just like the real thing.
Making the Gluten-Free Biscoff Biscuits
Before getting started with this spread, you’ll need to make a batch of gluten-free Biscoff biscuits. Luckily, the biscuit dough is pretty quick to mix up and even quicker to bake! I fully recommend using this wonderful recipe from Gluten Free on a Shoestring. The only change I made was swapping the vegetable shortening for butter and they came out great.
**UPDATE** – Asda are currently selling Schar Spekulatius Biscoff-style biscuits in their free from section, so if you can get hold of these, they could easily be used in place of the homemade batch.
Once your biscuit batch has cooled, you’re ready to blitz them up. You’ll need to use a good quality food processor to get the spread nice and smooth. Don’t panic if at first it seems it’ll never come together – it can take a good few minutes of blending to get the right consistency!
There are so many ways to use this delicious spread, but an ultimate favourite has to be my Gluten-Free Biscoff Banana Bread. It’s also great whipped into buttercream icing, drizzled on porridge or pancakes, or mixed with yoghurt. Are you sold yet?!
